Contents:
Introduction: Growing up and so many places to go! -- Youth ministry as practical theology : Trinitarian, Christocentric, transformational -- Practical theology : a Christocentric practice -- Overlapping spheres in adolescent development : healthy individuation -- A clarification of context : understanding youth culture -- Theological influences : faith with understanding -- A depth encounter with central virtues : love, mercy, justice and transformation -- Toward a more intentional transformative ministry.
Subject: Amy Jacober proposes a bilingual conversation, core to the concept of practical theology, between the theological and psychosocial context of adolescence. Youth ministers must consider the story of the student, the ministry and God's epic narrative, in which individuals and communities alike have a role. Drawing from the work of significant theologians and ethicist, as well as current research in adolescent development, Jacober presents an often inspiring view of youth ministry as participation in God's reconciling work among adolescents.
