The practical handbook on aging, spirituality, and religion for practitioners working with the elderly
Aging, Spirituality, and Religion, Volume 1 published in 1995 by Fortress Press, provided the sociological, psychological,
and theological perspectives for examining the ways in which spirituality and religion are experienced by aging
persons in our society. As such, it provided the theoretical foundations for considering aging, spirituality and
religion. Volume II picks up where Volume I left off-with practical advice and tools for ministry with the aging
in a variety of settings. Gerontological and theological perspectives undergird the practical guidance and a final
section treats of the unique ethical issues involved in ministry with the aging.
