Teaching Theology, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Theologians today write theology and teach theology, but they rarely write about teaching theology. Compared to the extensive literature on teaching, education, and theological education in general, contemporary theologians have given very little sustained theological attention to the practice of teaching theology. This is especially puzzling when one considers the sheer quantity of time most theologians spend teaching theology, how theologically interesting the practice is, and how valuable a more thoroughly theological pedagogy would be. Teaching Theology: Reflections Personal and Theological responds to that need. It brings together reflections by leading theologians and biblical scholars, each of whom offers a personal and theological interpretation of their career as a classroom teacher. Representing a wide range of approaches and theological perspectives, each essay provides a distinct angle of vision on the art of teaching and learning the Christian faith. Together, they invite readers to imagine pedagogies animated by the truth theology seeks to explore.
