Spirituality in diversity: Southeast Asia meets South Africa – towards a global view of spiritual counselling

Author
Ulrike Elsdörfer

Synopsis

This book aims to introduce the special phenomenon of spiritual counselling, as Christians have practised it in Southeast Asian countries in the last 50 years. Reference is also made to the current theory and practice of spiritual care and counselling, especially as a practice of Christian churches in different countries, predominantly in Indonesia. Previously, it was noticed that there was a lack of knowledge in the above-mentioned field, at least in the European context, but also globally. The author is part of an academic exchange on the subject of spiritual counselling between the two regions described: Indonesia (India and Japan attached) and South Africa. The latter is looked at with special regard to spiritual and/or pastoral counselling. The theological frame of reference is public theology. It lays foundations, explores and designs the social implications of religious work, especially in multi-religious societies. The book does not aim to give a perfect survey of the current state of research in the field. It is based on encounters with colleagues, interviews and documents.
