Religious studies, theology, and human flourishing
1 online resource (xxvi, 193 pages) : illustrations.
"Religious Studies, Theology, and Human Flourishing explores the implications of religious studies and theology for well-being, illuminating connections between theory, pedagogy, and practice with nuance and depth. The contributors to this volume have constructed and critiqued various conceptualizations of well-being and different approaches to its cultivation, both inside and outside of the classroom. From India to the American Bible Belt, this volume provides a variety of perspectives on approaches to the cultivation of well-being, including formations of the ideal life and the perfect death in antiquity and modernity in the Muslim world; constructions of existential meaning, purpose, and goodness in pastoral theology, care, and counseling; and skepticism surrounding understandings of religion and spirituality in positive psychology, among others"--
