The shape of theological education in the 70’s

Abstract

There is in recent years a call for self-examination in the life of the church. Such self-examination leads to a renewal of theological education. Theological education is the task given to the seminary and the seminary is the creation of the church’s need for a well-educated ministry. Graduates of the seminary inevitably as leaders of the church leave imprint of their education on the life of the church.

In most instances theological education in the seminary has been the fertile ground for renewal in the church’s life. As one who has been involved in the theological education for the last 14 years, I see that today’s theological education is under great pressure that calls for changes and new trends for tomorrow’s task.
