William E. Hulme's Pastoral Care Comes of Age discusses the development of pastoral theology and ministry to be relevant in the modern era. It emphasizes practical and psychological approaches to caring for people, addressing the challenges of the times, and the importance of understanding new contexts (such as the Anthropocene or post-secular era) for effective and contextual pastoral care for individuals and communities. The book also discusses how pastors and pastoral counselors can provide in-depth care for individuals, families, and communities facing life's difficulties. In short, Pastoral Care Comes of Age is a call for pastoral ministry to mature (grow) and adapt to the realities of the modern world to provide meaningful care.
