Theological Profile

Mainline
Other
This is a secular academic social work textbook with no Christian theological content; its placement on the theological spectrum reflects its secular-progressive professional ethics framework rather than any engagement with Christian doctrine. Christian social workers may find it professionally useful but should supplement it with a biblically grounded framework for ethics and human dignity.
