Lived theology: impulses for a pastoral theology of empowerment
Abstrak
encing of ministering to Eric as friend, pastor, and mentor. This opening led me to hope to learn more about how ‘Eric’s’ experience, and Bellini’s experience of ministering to Eric, had informed the relational theology that Bellini develops across The Cerulean Soul as he reflects on human personhood, depression and mental illness. This hope was not fulfilled. Similarly, given that the subject of the book is depression and mental illness, I had hoped that Bellini’s ‘flexible, integrative model’ might be interdisciplinary, inviting ‘two or more disciplines into mutual engagement, allowing these disciplines themselves to be informed and re-formed by their engagement with each other’ as Joyce Mercer envisages in her chapter in Conundrums in Practical Theology (2016, 165). This hope could be fulfilled, in theory and in practice, if Bellini and others further develop the relational theology that he offers to the academy and to the church (2021, 5, 203, 207). The Cerulean Soul is a thoughtful, and thought-provoking, addition to the Studies in Religion, Theology, and Disability series in which it appears.
