Description

The Art of Spiritual Midwifery: diaLogos and Dialectic in the Classical Tradition by Stephen Faller explores the philosophy behind pastoral care. This framework offers a powerful approach to providing support in today's fast-paced environment, drawing from Western thought's earliest roots. The book is divided into three parts, each offering insight into the metaphors of midwifery, its methodology, and creative applications. A rigorous theory underpins the work, yet it maintains a poetic balance that invites transformation in spiritual caregivers. From Heraclitus to Kierkegaard, Faller draws on various philosophical and theological traditions to present a comprehensive conception of pastoral care. By examining the dialogue between midwife and client, as well as the mechanics behind this approach, readers can gain a deeper understanding of how to deliver effective pastoral care. This book is a valuable resource for those seeking to enhance their ministry and provide meaningful support to others.
