Practical Theology in Lebanon: Five Letters from Beirut

This article emerges directly from the setting of the recent war between Israel and Hezbollah on the southern border of Lebanon during the summer of 2006. Written by a Lebanese scholar in practical theology teaching in Beirut, it incorporates five letters written during that conflict into a larger framework of pastoral and theological reflection. As a whole, the article provides a case study of themes important within the ambit of practical theology, including spirituality, pastoral care, local context and history, ecclesial voice and relations, and political forces that impinge upon faithful living.
