Reference book for preliminary research

The Concise Dictionary of Pastoral Care and Counseling by Glenn H. Asquith
Call Number: REF 253.03 D55 (Unabridged version in the Library Reference Collection)
ISBN: 9781426720109
Publication Date: 2010
A selection of articles from the classic Dictionary of Pastoral Care and Counseling (1990). Articles are organized by topic. rather than alphabetically. A review of the book in Journal of Pastoral Theology compares this edition to the original one. Because the book is in epub format, use the table of contents to browse the articles. The "Search within" tool is crude. It is unfortunate that this is the best online reference work available in this discipline.
