Practical Theology for Aging

By Derrell R. Watkins

Book Overview

Through Scripture, studies, and the personal experiences of religious leaders and congregants, Practical Theology for Aging offers new concepts for ministering to our older population. Each chapter looks at a different concern for the elderly, such as sexual activity or the overlooked needs of people over 80--and addresses it with the faith and assurance that aging is part of God's great work. From scientific models and case studies to passages from both the Old and New Testaments, this volume illuminates the power of faith in keeping the elderly whole and well.
