Description
The Deacon Reader by James Keating provides a comprehensive overview of the theological and pastoral nature of the diaconate. This collection of essays clarifies the fundamental identity of the deacon, making it an essential resource for those discerning a call to this office or already in formation. The book is divided into three sections, covering historical foundations, pastoral foundations, and sociological foundations for the diaconate. It explores key topics such as the history of the diaconate, the morality of the deacon, and the role of the deacon's wife. The work features contributions from significant deacon theologians and priest experts on the diaconate. This systematic academic text is designed to support the first years of deacon formation according to the New Roman National Directory (2005). It offers a unique resource for those seeking to understand the theological formation of the deacon student, providing a comprehensive guide to the core elements of the diaconal identity.
