About this book
Reviews
“This is an astounding book. While so many of us deal with this of that of our many problems, a pastoral counselor not only describes the ongoing destruction of human beings but also how and why it occurs. He convincingly names the enemy, neoliberalism, which too many of us serve, and points the way to real salvation. This is scholarship in the service of God.” (John B. Cobb, Jr., Professor Emeritus, Claremont School of Theology, USA)
“Caring for Souls in a Neoliberal Age brings a much needed resource to the fields of pastoral and practical theology and pastoral care. Rogers-Vaughn provides a ground-breaking, in-depth theoretical analysis of neoliberal economic theory and the ravages of its effects on individuals, relationships, and public life. At once theoretically rich, pastorally wise, and accessible, this is a resource that seminarians and those in religious leadership can use effectively. The theoretical scope of the author’s research will support further scholarship for years to come.” (Nancy J. Ramsay, Professor of Pastoral Theology and Pastoral Care, Brite Divinity School, USA)
