It is arranged in three sections, the first entitled "Research", and including: religion and coping; religiosity as a mediator of caregiver well-being; religious congregations as social services providers; and attitudes about religion and spirituality in gerontological social work practice.

The third section comprises six articles on the theme, "Search for meaning", covering: autobiography as a spiritual practice; dreams in midlife and old age; pastoral counselling; dementia care as spiritual formation; caregiving; and wisdom and spirituality.
