Christian social work, as practiced since the beginnings of Christianity, encompasses a variety of forms of church-related or church-affiliated services. For individuals in training for current professions in these fields, this volume presents a scientifically-theoretical self-determination, both within the framework of the professionalization debate in social work and at the level of conceptual and methodological questions. At the anthropological, philosophical, and theological levels, the core focus is on humans as social beings, who, as creatures, are always confronted with possibilities and limitations, but also act as responsible beings who may require professional and institutional support, which they also receive within the framework of Christian social work. Reflecting on and systematizing their actions, as well as considering them as a theoretical concept, is of central importance.
