This handbook focuses on the pastoral dimension of the Bible, venturing into new territory. It brings together the two major thematic areas and presents a comprehensive biblical-pastoral framework. The central question is how to develop, accompany, promote, and above all, make a biblically oriented pastoral approach tangible. In the first step, it examines pastoral fields of action, such as sacramental pastoral care, and investigates the role that biblical stories play in various life stages. It then addresses places of church life, such as daycare centers, schools, and groups. The authors illustrate the diverse practical work with biblical texts in an extensive methodological section.
