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.
