USING ONLY THE MATERIAL PROVIDED: After you have read about practical theology, write a short reflection on what you perceive to be both the merits and the risks of doing practical theology.
Identify three characteristics of practical theology that you see as strengths/benefits of this method. And identify three characteristics that you see as weaknesses/risks of this method.
Support each of these with evidence from your readings. Use specific quotes from the readings and engage with them thoughtfully as you assess these strengths and weaknesses of this method.
