Seelsorger, A Journal for the Contemporary Cure of Souls, volume 2, contains essays from seven Lutheran pastors about the art of pastoral care. Topics range from sexuality to post-modernity, the conscience to the use of story, vice, virtue, and baptism and the dangers and blessings of a long-term pastorate. Each essay is introduced by Dr. Harold Senkbeil, and concluded with a brief meditation and prayer. For more information about Doxology, please visit www.doxology.us.
