Shared Wisdom A Guide to Case Study Reflection in Ministry

Shared Wisdom: A Guide to Case Study Reflection in Ministry by Jeffrey H. Mahan, published by Abingdon Press in 1993, offers a comprehensive exploration of case-study analysis within the context of ministry.

Each chapter is designed to enhance understanding of the implications of case study work in Christian ministry, making it a valuable resource for those involved in administration, education, and pastoral care within the Christian Church. This edition is presented in English and measures 8.5 by 5.5 inches, making it a convenient addition to any collection focused on religious studies and ministry resources.
