PPC 534 - Grief, Dying and Death (3)

This course addresses theology and pastoral practice that pertain to ministering to the chronically ill and the bereaved. Emphasis is placed upon theological postures regarding theodicy, eschatology, sin and sickness, prayer, suicide, euthanasia and hope. Students are encouraged to consider how one’s theological commitments translate into authentic acts of care such as accompanying the dying, offering support to the bereaved and assisting the family in making decisions.
