Handbook of Chaplaincy Studies

An invaluable compendium of case-studies academic reflection and critical enquiry this Handbook offers a fresh understanding of traditional contemporary and innovative forms of spiritual practice as they are witnessed in the public sphere. Providing a wide-ranging appraisal of chaplaincy in an era of religious complexity and emergent spiritualities this pioneering book is a major contribution to a relatively underdeveloped field and sets out how the phenomenon of chaplaincy can be better understood and its practice more robust and informed.
