A Critique Of Theological Education In The Light Of Changing American Culture, David S. Schuller
A Critique Of Theological Education In The Light Of Changing American Culture, David S. Schuller
Concordia Theological Monthly
The more critical the situation faced by a ministry, the more intense has been its criticism of conventional theological education. Where the patterns of cultural change have been least severe, the conventional shape of ministerial training has been most successful. Turning to the areas of greatest change we find the most demanding tests that can be addressed to contemporary theological education. Moreover, such areas should prove most predictive of the types of change we can look for in the future.
Some Directives For The Education Of A More Excellent Ministry, Arthur C. Repp
Some Directives For The Education Of A More Excellent Ministry, Arthur C. Repp
Concordia Theological Monthly
The continuing reevaluation which theological seminaries have been making of themselves, coupled with a growing criticism of the seminaries' products on the part of many in the church, has produced a lively ferment in the current discussion of ministerial education. Some outstanding theological books and articles of late have addressed themselves to this subject, all of them showing a real concern for finding a solution.

How well does Concordia Seminary train its students for subsequent service in the church?

The Fieldwork Program At Concordia Seminary, Kenneth H. Breimeier
Concordia Theological Monthly
In a sense, there has always been fieldwork at Concordia Seminary. Ever since the beginning of the school, students have been preaching, teaching, and generally exercising the skills of the pastoral ministry. In another sense, the beginning of the fieldwork program might be reckoned from the inauguration of the required year of vicarage, or internship. In the early 1930s Synod asked the class that would have returned for its senior year to stay out for one year to work in the parish.
The Student Association-An Evaluation, John Gienapp
The Student Association-An Evaluation, John Gienapp
Concordia Theological Monthly
"How does it feel to be top flea on a dead dog?" The wry question addressed to a student association president dramatizes a reality in the life of the association. That reality is the need for reevaluation. It is axiomatic that one thing always present at a seminary is change.
Gifts From The Lord Of The Church, Leonhard C. Wuerffel
Gifts From The Lord Of The Church, Leonhard C. Wuerffel
Concordia Theological Monthly
After a little more than 16 years of service as the dean of students at a seminary, we have been asked to set forth some observations concerning the students served during this period of time. First of all, there is something frightening about such a request. To have been intimately associated with more than 2,000 young men, who today are ministers of the Gospel and are serving their Lord and His people somewhere in the world, is unquestionably a great privilege and a humbling experience.
