The Theological Curriculum

From the Preface (p. xix): In the section on reimagining theological education, "Tom Noble explores the concept of 'theology' as key to the curriculum of the theological college or seminary -- but not in the limited sense of systematic theology, and not only in the sense of theologia as an academic Wissenschaft or 'science,' as Edward Farley might define it. Instead, working from T. F. Torrance's perspective on theology and method (Theological Science), he brings together the subjective and objective dimensions (spiritual formation and academic 'science') as a way to understand the unity and diversity of the theological curriculum: 'to know the Lord, to speak of the Lord, to walk with the Lord.'"

Jacket blurb for the book as a whole: "This collection of essays addresses aspects of Christian identity formation as God’s holy people in a global context in the midst of various challenges. The contributors offer interdisciplinary explorations on what it means to live as God’s holy people in different settings and consider challenging questions from biblical, historical, theological, missiological, and pastoral perspectives."
