This book argues that the discipline of practical theology needs to be re-shaped in light of the impact of globalization. Christian tradition is being challenged by the blurred encounters with more fluid lifestyles alternative spiritualities and indeed other faiths as mediated through information technology and the breakdown of attachments to all forms of institutional life. What is the future for practical theology in this rapidly changing context? By examining the familiar concerns of the subject John Reader presents the possibilities for a reflexive spirituality grounded in the Christian tradition as a way into the future.
