Donald Capps applies this view to the broad range of pastoral actions and, in the process, formulates a unique and helpful hermeneutical model of pastoral care. Capps maintains that such a model can be extremely useful for understanding what a particular pastoral action means to those involved in it, and for evaluating its effects on these persons.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wipf \u0026 Stock Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45131839897751,"sku":"9781620323533","price":1491.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781620323533.webp?v=1767281569","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/pastoral-care-and-hermeneutics-9781620323533","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
