Normatywny i praktyczny wymiar haseł „Leksykonu teologii pastoralnej”

Abstract

Considering both the normative and practical dimensions is the key issue for pastoral theology in its theological-pastoral reflection. A “holistic” approach to ecclesial reality that is preferred in pastoral theology today has been reflected in the way particular entries in the Lexicon of Pastoral Theology are formulated. This is why in all the entries concerning objects attention has been paid to the presentation of the normative dimension, and then the definition goes on to present the practical dimension of the entry. Such an approach has allowed the authors of the entries to focus mainly on the aim and on the issue as a pastoral whole: normative and practical.
