Know about the book -

Using the Bible in Practical Theology is written by Zoë Bennett and published by Routledge. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1317003004 (ISBN 10) and 9781317003007 (ISBN 13).

Exploring how the Bible may be appropriately used in practical and public theology, this book looks at types of modern practical theology with specific emphasis on the use of the Bible. Bennett juxtaposes the diversity of modern practical theology with the work of leading nineteenth-century public 'theologian', John Ruskin, and then assesses the contribution of this analysis to some modern issues of public importance in which the Bible is used. The final chapter offers a framework for a biblically informed critical practical theology which draws on the writer's experience and invites the readers to engage their own.
