Description including Unit Aims

The Christian hope of healing and wholeness is lived out in the tension of the $�now&� and the $�not yet&�. Effective pastoral care requires a theology that can handle the tensions of faith and experience in the face of human suffering and death. This module lays the theological foundations necessary for a mature integration of Christian faith and human experience.
