Theological Education Matters

The flurry of literature on the crises afflicting theological education seems to have abated somewhat, but concerns about the future of institutionalized theological education linger. Some efforts to deal with these concerns simply recycle existing conditions. It is likely that the more effective efforts will be international in scope, learning focused, deeply concerned about theological education in relation to a biblical ecclesiology, committed to service within society, and increasingly decentralized in structure and affiliations.
