A Good Starting Point,
This review is from: The Ministry of Reconciliation: Spirituality & Strategies (Paperback)
The Ministry of Reconciliation is an excellent book for those desiring a progressive Catholic understanding of reconciliation. Schreiter's approach is grounded in the vision of the Vatican II Council, and closely follows relevant Biblical models. Those seeking a more traditional Catholic understanding of reconciliation may prefer to look elsewhere. Within the context of pastoral ministry, some of the insights in this book may be a little too abstract or general to be of everyday use. While many of the ideas Schreiter presents are certainly stimulating, from a pastoral standpoint, more detail would be desirable. Some of the suggestions Schreiter makes would require careful pastoral implementation. Schreiter's other books and articles on reconciliation provide more material than this rather slim volume. In conclusion, while undeniably of considerable interest to pastors and lay ministers, this book can only really serve as a starting point for further pastoral reflection and action.
