Description
A Christian Theology of Chaplaincy by John Caperon and Andrew Todd explores the nature of chaplaincy as a ministry that operates outside traditional church structures. This book examines how chaplains navigate complex questions about their role in relation to institutions, non-Christian faiths, and the Church's understanding of itself. The authors consider the benefits of chaplaincy as a form of ministry, as well as the personal characteristics and disposition required for effective chaplaincy. They also investigate the implications of Christian theology within this context, including its relevance in public spaces. This book is an important resource for chaplains, students of theology, and anyone involved in Christian ministry and theology.
