Publication life cycle / General notes

Stein, introduction, p. 2: “A basic responsibility of God’s people in each generation is to formulate a theology of training for ministry, asking the question afresh, ‘What kind of ministry?’ This David Torrance, parish minister of Earlston, attempts in chapter 1. Another reason for seeking fresh light on the subject of training is the growing unrest about what is happening in our Theological Colleges, reflected in articles, editorials and correspondence in Life and Work over the past year… This book is therefore primarily addressed to the Church of Scotland.”
