Although theology is often seen as impractical speculation on unimportant matters, it serves as a necessary foundation--and provides valuable guidance--for chaplains who must provide pastoral care to persons with dementia and their families. Theology can help us "to see things as God sees them." Among the theological doctrines found in the Hebrew-Christian scriptures and traditions that are particularly helpful are the following: human creation "in the image of God"; human nature as a psychophysical unity; the dependence of all persons upon God's mercy; the centrality of community; and God's judgment of personal worth by standards very different from those of "the world." A model for applying these concepts and some thoughts of the importance of chaplains are offered.
