Toward a Missional Vision of Theological Education

One of my main areas of interest is the shaping of a missional paradigm of theological education in Post-Christendom. To that end I wrote a series of 9 posts on the subject that have become foundational for work that I am continuing to do in the current context of seminary education.

  1. Preliminary Thoughts
  2. The Root of the Problem
  3. The Fruit of the Problem
  4. New Soil
  5. Community Rootedness
  6. Character Formation
  7. Conviction Shaping
  8. Contextual Training
  9. Cultural Pioneering
