Through the writings of nineteen leading voices in the history of pastoral care  Dykstra shows how each contributor developed a metaphor for understanding pastoral care. Such metaphors include the solicitous shepherd  the wounded healer  the intimate stranger  the midwife  and other tangible images. Through these works  the reader gains a sense of the varied identities of pastoral care professionals  their struggles for recognition in this often controversial field  and insight into the history of the disciple. Images of Pastoral Care includes readings by Anton Boisen  Alastair Campbell  Donald Capps  James Dittes  Robert Dykstra  Heije Faber  Charles Gerkin  Brita Gill-Austern  Karen Hanson  Seward Hiltner  Margaret Zipse Kornfeld  Bonnie Miller-McLemore  Jeanne Stevenson Moessner  Henri Nouwen  Gaylord Noyce  Paul Pruyser  and Edward Wimberly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666281979957,"sku":"ByrdShop_0827216246","price":43.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780827216242.jpg?v=1782426773","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/images-of-pastoral-care-9780827216242","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
