Product Description

This volume explores educational perspectives on the task of Christian theological education. It is designed to stimulate the thinking of leaders in theological training institutions and to motivate critical reflection on current practice, in order to enhance the effectiveness of the institutions in equipping people for relevant ministry and leadership of the Church.

This volume has been compiled to celebrate the Asia Theological Association's 40th anniversary, and so the focus of the article is especially on the Asian context. However, many of the insights are relevant to theological education beyond Asia.
