Abstract

A top leadership theorist offers a compelling proposal for renovating the way religious education is practiced today. Christian colleges and seminaries have not been immune from the cultural influences shaping contemporary education. Challenging the conventional wisdom advanced by the educational debate during the last fifteen years, Robert Banks builds an innovative new of theological education based on how ministry formation took place in biblical times. Banks takes full account of key issues raised by our current educational context and shows how a missional model of education is more holistic, inclusive, and practical than recent versions.
