Book Synopsis Understanding and Developing Theological Education by : Bernhard Ott
Download or read book Understanding and Developing Theological Education written by Bernhard Ott and published by Langham Global Library. This book was released on 2016-01-31 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically education has been driven from behind – the history, and above – the educational institution. Traditions and adherence requirements have led to inflexible models of school leadership that are focused on administration and rife with educational politics. In contrast, today’s theological landscape needs institutions with a grassroots-driven educational system, looking to a future that is biblically and theologically grounded. This publication, an English translation from the original German focuses on the leadership and curriculum development required for such a paradigm shift. Ott comprehensively assesses trends in current theological education across the world with detailed reference to wider trends in global tertiary education. Written primarily for those in leadership roles at theological schools and training institutions, this handbook is an essential resource for equipping the next generation of leaders in theological education.

Book excerpt: Theological field education is an eye-opening process for young ministers as they begin the challenging work of integrating theory into real-world practice. Enlighten: Formational Learning in Theological Field Education shines a light on specific learning methods student ministers and their mentors can leverage to make the most of their field experience. Expanding on the knowledge gathered in Engage:A Theological Field Education Toolkit and Empower: A Guide for Supervisor-Mentors in Theological Field Education, this book challenges students, peer reflection group members, and supervisor-mentors to utilize each learning theory to achieve deeper formation. Contributors to the volume introduce individual theories and identify potential areas of resistance and opportunities for growth through illustrative case studies. These practical examples provide support for students facing common obstacles while encouraging all participants in the field education process to be open to new avenues of growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A top leadership theorist offers a compelling proposal for renovating the way religious education is practiced today. Christian colleges and seminaries have not been immune from the cultural influences shaping contemporary education. Challenging the conventional wisdom advanced by the educational debate during the last fifteen years, Robert Banks builds an innovative new model of theological education based on how ministry formation took place in biblical times. Banks takes full account of key issues raised by our current educational context and shows how a "missional model" of education is more holistic, inclusive, and practical than recent versions.

Book Synopsis Challenging Tradition by : Perry Shaw
Download or read book Challenging Tradition written by Perry Shaw and published by Langham Publishing. This book was released on 2018-03-31 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The surge of theological education in the rapidly growing church of the Majority World has highlighted the inadequacy of traditional Western methods of thinking and learning to fully accomplish the task at hand. The limitations of current theological education are embodied in the formation and assessment of the master’s or doctoral dissertation; processes that follow a linear-empiricist tradition developed in the West and exported to the Majority World. Challenging Tradition: Innovation in Advanced Theological Studies highlights the need for these traditions to be reconsidered in every context throughout the world. Drs Shaw and Dharamraj, with their team of contributors, present innovations in research and documentation that demonstrate how we may better prepare theological leadership through means that are contextually relevant and locally meaningful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For several decades concern has been expressed about the need for greater integration and contextual significance in the curricular design of theological education. In addition, there has been a growing awareness of the role theological schools should play in strengthening the missional vision and practice of local churches. Drawing on Dr. Perry Shaw’s experience as faculty member, educational engineer, and acting academic dean for Arab Baptist Theological Seminary, Transforming Theological Education provides theoretical foundations and practical principles for purposeful curriculum design, as well as tools for facilitating integrated and contextually significant learning in the classroom. This updated second edition has been reorganized for thematic clarity and expanded to provide a stronger foundation for thinking theologically – rather than just educationally – about theological education. It also contains a wider range of curricular examples from innovative theological programs around the world, along with practical advice for implementing change in change- resistant environments. This handbook continues to be a one-of-a-kind resource for theological educators and all those involved in Christian leadership training.

Book Synopsis Common Worship in Theological Education by : Siobhán Garrigan
Download or read book Common Worship in Theological Education written by Siobhán Garrigan and published by Pickwick Publications. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description: What is the place of corporate worship in theological education? Certainly it is not unexpected to have ministry students attending seminary chapel, but what are the expectations for the students who attend chapel? Is it to form their liturgical sensibilities into conformity with a particular worship tradition or style? Or is it to provide a safe place to try things that one would be reluctant to experiment with in congregational worship? Although common worship for ministry students is almost a given in all theological schools, there are few common understandings about it goals and purposes. Common Worship in Theological Education is the first book to address the theological, pedagogical, and political issues involved in the planning and execution of seminary chapel. It offers voices from across the theological and ecumenical spectrum about chapel, as well as involving multiple disciplines in the conversation. This volume provides the first comprehensive survey of the worship issues at stake in seminary education today. The essays in this collection provide the foundation for a productive conversation within a seminary faculty or among colleagues within a theological discipline. This volume makes the case that the chapel ought to have a seat at the table when the education mission of a theological school is being discussed. So pull up a chair and prepare for a fascinating conversation. Endorsements: ""Theological schools in North America are most often also worshiping communities that gather to sing and pray, to hear the scriptures proclaimed, to eat and drink at the Lord's table. The essays in this volume are a welcome contribution to serious reflection about the practice of worship in seminary chapels and its import for theological education and formation. Let this be the starting point for a wide-ranging and much-needed conversation."" --Thomas H. Schattauer Professor of Liturgics and Dean of the Chapel Wartburg Theological Seminary ""Finally, a book for those who know the influence of common worship in theological curricula, and a book to help conversations begin about the function and purpose of chapel in our schools. The essays, from diverse contexts of theological education, provoke questions. Yet each essay demonstrates the power of chapel to form our communities and the need for schools to attend to common worship as a way of learning and knowing alongside other curricular goals."" --Jennifer L. Lord Associate Professor of Homiletics, Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary ""This book is a needed and welcomed addition to the conversation about the 'practices' in theological education. The contributors, all practical theologians, bring their individual pedagogical strengths and particular academic interests to this collective work which examines the multiple dimensions of the seminary chapel experience and its formative effects on ministers-in-training."" --Barbara Day Miller Assistant Dean of Worship and Music Candler School of Theology About the Contributor(s): Todd E. Johnson is the Brehm Chair of Worship, Theology and the Arts at Fuller Theological Seminary where he directs the PhD program in Christian Worship. Siobhan Garrigan is Associate Professor of Liturgical Studies, and Associate Dean, for Chapel, at Yale Divinity School and Institute of Sacred Music, where she has directed the daily ecumenical worship program since 2002."
Book Synopsis Towards Vital Wholeness in Theological Education by : Jessy Jaison
Download or read book Towards Vital Wholeness in Theological Education written by Jessy Jaison and published by Langham Publishing. This book was released on 2017-08-14 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God’s interest in the entirety of our existence and the details of his creation is quite rightly lauded by professing Christians, including those involved in theological education. But what impact does this biblical truth have on the way in which theological education is conducted? Critics are increasingly bringing attention to the shortcomings of theological education in this regard. In this thorough examination of the issue of holistic practices throughout the operations of theological institutions, Dr Jessy Jaison provides sage and actionable solutions where others have merely observed systemic weaknesses. Jaison has applied her expertise and experience of twenty-five years in theological education in India to dissect the issues, diagnose the symptoms and prescribe a way forward that will lead to stronger leaders practicing healthier ministry in God’s Kingdom for those who have ears to hear.
Book Synopsis Beyond Profession by : Daniel O. Aleshire
Download or read book Beyond Profession written by Daniel O. Aleshire and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2021-03-18 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What should theological education become? Theological education has long been successful in the United States because of its ability to engage with contemporary cultural realities. Likewise, despite the existential threats facing it today, theological education can continue to thrive if it is once again reinvented to fit with the needs of current times. Daniel Aleshire, the longtime executive director of the Association of Theological Schools, offers a brief account of how theological education has changed in the past and how it might change going forward. He begins by reflecting on his own extensive experience with theological education and then turns to reviewing its history, dating back to the seventeenth century. Amid this historical survey, he uncovers an older model of the field that he believes must become dominant once again—what he calls formational theological education—and explores educational practices that this model would require. The future of theological education described here by Aleshire would return seminaries to their original role as places where a “deep, abiding, resilient, generative identity as Christian human beings” is fostered within emerging Christian leaders. This, he argues, more than professional preparation, is what theological education must be most essentially about.

Book Synopsis Ministry Education That Transforms by : Robert W. Ferris
Download or read book Ministry Education That Transforms written by Robert W. Ferris and published by Langham Publishing. This book was released on 2018-05-06 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God clearly intends that lives of Christians and the life of the church should differ from those of the unredeemed. The Christian and the church should be “salt and light.” Preparing spiritual leaders who have the grace, credibility, and wisdom to effect such change demands more than transmission of knowledge. Equipping for transformative ministry requires a divinely empowered and educationally intentional experience that leads to transformation in the lives of students. Ministry Education that Transforms brings together theological insight and educational research in support of practical methods that align with transformative ends. The authors’ experience with Global Associates for Transformational Education (GATE) workshops, and the impact they have had with this approach to education formation, testifies that this is not a mere call for change, but a tried and tested methodology crucial to theological education.
Book Synopsis Connecting Curriculum with Context by : Rupen Das
Download or read book Connecting Curriculum with Context written by Rupen Das and published by Langham Global Library. This book was released on 2015-10-14 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assessment of the impact of theological education has always been a challenge. In a pluralistic world where graduates are ministering in greatly varying contexts and cultures, theological education has to be context sensitive and relevant. It is no longer enough to ensure that students have mastered core theological concepts and truths, have biblical knowledge, and some basic ministry skills. The impact of a theological institution is measured by the effectiveness of their graduates in their specific ministry contexts. Therefore the theological curriculum has to be connected with the contexts of the graduates. Theological institutions need to be clear as to what they hope to accomplish and this will determine the model of theological training that they use. This book explores various models of theological education, as well as identifying steps in the logical sequence of connecting curriculum with context.
