Understanding and Developing Theological Education (Paperback or Softback)

Theology and Education have come together in recent years to form the discipline of "theological education." Dr Bernhard Ott brings a lifetime of reading and research, teaching, educational leadership and international collaboration to his book Understanding and Developing Theological Education. His professional involvement in three educational mega-systems (UK, EU, USA) reveals first-hand knowledge of their inner workings and interrelations. He also reveals to the reader the foundational Germanic tradition in theological education, often little known by non-German readers. Dr Ott also has broad international experience in the European Evangelical Accrediting Association (EEAA) and the International Council for Evangelical Theological Education (ICETE), and is well acquainted with ecumenical theological education. The result: a clearly written and comprehensive textbook for theological education, a resource for many years to come. A must-read for theological educators, students and leaders; for all who wish to understand better how theology can be educational and education theological.
