Towards viable theological education - John Pobee

What sort of theological education and ministerial formation is needed to prepare Christian leaders who can inspire new life and renew and transform the church? That critical question is being posed today in a context of social and cultural upheavals which have left many historic church institutions with unprecedented doubts and uncertainty. Five fascinating portraits of "theological education" in the Bible by the Indian Jesuit Samuel Rayan are followed by presentations and responses on the areas of ecumenism, tradition, financial support, education of the whole people of God, and renewal.
