At This Time: Dialogues in Theological Education - Paperback

by Corwin Malcolm Davis (Editor), Ted A. Smith (Editor)

Constructive conversations about current-day theological education

When people talk about how to navigate the changing landscape of theological education, it's common to hear divergent opinions. What's less common is meaningful dialogue. That's what makes At This Time unique: it brings diverse thinkers together to engage in constructive conversations about the meanings and purposes of theological education today.

Contributors to At This Time come from many different educational contexts. Some of the contributors work at formally accredited seminaries; others help lead innovative initiatives that create new kinds of opportunities for theological education. But all are attuned to trends in church and society that affect theological learning communities, and all bring years of leadership experience to the table.

In its emphasis on critical theological reflection in community, this volume serves as a fitting capstone for the Theological Education between the Times (TEBT) series. Conversations have always been at the heart of the project, and this book brings them more directly to the fore. Here, readers will find essays and dialogues that not only resonate with one another but also crackle with the life and intensity of real-world relationships. The aim of At This Time is to spark equally dynamic conversations among readers who care about theological education's past, present, and future.
