This textbook presents in compact form what one needs to know today in the field of practical theology. It can accompany university courses and can be used to prepare for examinations. It is also useful for further education for ministers and priests. The book starts with four brief survey articles on the prerequisites for contemporary practical theological thinking. The central fields of Christian practice are then developed in a problem-oriented fashion, in each case based on the following structure: marking out current challenges, orientation in the field of action, empirical findings, historical and systematic reference points, basic practical and theological provisions, current debates and issues for the future.
