About this ebook
The Real Reality of Skid Row: A Practical Theology Perspective looks with an unblinking eye at the details of the lives of homeless people and uses the portraits that emerge as the perspective from which to think theologically about the challenges they face and calling the church hears to offer its witness to them. Rev. Jeffrey R. Thomas, PhD, drawing upon his time serving as a pastor of a congregation in Skid Row, Los Angeles, sketches out the contours of individuals’ lives, analyzes the personal and societal factors that contribute to their circumstances, and suggests approaches for shaping the church’s responses in both word and deed.
