Item description from seller

Neuware - 'This is a feast for theologians, historians and Christian counselors.

Pietsch uses interdisciplinary tools of inquiry artfully to examine the letters, Luthers pastoral care approaches and the history of the melancholy tradition. The practice of seelsorge emerges as an amalgam of art, spiritual gift, and understanding of affliction, all resting comfortably within the authority of scripture and the Lutheran Confessions.
