Abstract:
One of the main issues in theological education is related to the dichotomy between being learned and being godly. Thus, Theology, Church, and Ministry was designed to introduce readers to the place that theological education plays in preparing God-called ministers for service in the church. The writers seek to convince the readers that theological education and church ministry are intertwined and inseparable through the three sections of this book: Introduction, Shape of Ministry Preparation, and Church and Ministry.
In the first four chapters in the first section, the writers discuss the history of theological education and assert the importance of grounding theological education on the authority of the Bible, the supremacy of Christ, and his calling to fulfil his Great Commission.
