Críticas

«These essays capture the current status of theological education in America. They describe with accuracy problems, both old and new, and responses that theological schools are making to these problems. The chapters show schools at work on a variety of critical issues, and, while focusing on a few schools, clearly identify the reality that exists in most seminaries in the United States and Canada. This volume dramatically affirms the value of the Lexington Seminar and its program design that gives faculty and administrators the opportunity to think educationally and institutionally. This is an important and valuable book.» (Daniel O. Aleshire, Executive Director, The Association of Theological Schools)
«As a participant in Lexington Seminar activities, I know the spirit of inquiring commitment they embody. This collection of essays captures this spirit well, as it illuminates the problems and promises of working with adult learners in seminary education. Thoughtful, passionate, and informed, the volume is a must read for anyone interested in deepening their understanding of theological teaching and learning.» (Stephen Brookfield, Distinguished Professor, The University of St. Thomas, Minneapolis, Minnesota)

Reseña del editor

Contemporary theological education is facing profound changes. Fundamental shifts in both church and society have established a volatile context for theological teaching and learning. Seminaries are struggling with the growing diversity of their students, faculties, and institutional commitments. This book addresses these issues both contextually and historically, engages the nature of theological teaching and learning, and offers educational practices that strengthen the vocation of teaching and enhance the school as a place of conversation.
