Итог:The author argues that for the last three decades pastoral theology, in keeping with most disciplines in the humanities, has implicitly accepted the normativity of capitalism. Thus capitalism has not undergone rigorous analysis or critique. This has become problematic in light of increasing evidence that the culture of late capitalism (neoliberalism) has become globally hegemonic, and is undermining social, interpersonal and psychological well-being. Operating in paradigmatic fashion, neoliberalism has founded new forms of suffering while transforming previous types of suffering into novel mutations. Unless pastoral theology incorporates awareness of these developments into its analyses of suffering, and into its theories for alleviating suffering, it will risk a crisis of credibility. The author concludes with a summary of five characteristics for a pastoral theology that no longer naturalizes capitalism.
