This book aims to present a distinctly evangelical perspective on the field of practical theology. Evangelicals have occasionally viewed practical theology as primarily a 'liberal project.' However, this collection actively engages with practical theology from an evangelical standpoint, encompassing both discussions of substantive issues and showcasing examples of practical theology undertaken by evangelicals in various contexts, such as the classroom, church, and beyond. This volume brings together established and emerging voices to explore the increasing significance of practical theology within evangelical and Pentecostal circles. The chapters commence by addressing methodological considerations, before delving into areas of practice. Additionally, four short papers from students who utilize practical theology to reflect upon their own practices are included. Issues of authority and normativity are addressed head-on in a manner that will shape and inform the ongoing debate within and beyond evangelicalism. Consequently, this book holds significant interest for scholars engaged in the study of practical, evangelical, and Pentecostal theology.
