Description
Book SynopsisThe teaching of theology with a global awareness has to wrestle with the nature and scope of the theological curriculum, teaching methods, and the context of learning. This book directly addresses both method and content by identifying local resources, successful pedagogies of inclusion, and best practices for teaching theology in a global context.
Trade ReviewThis book, suited best for graduate studies and incorporation into upper level undergraduate lectures, is an admirable and recommended resource for any theological educator's library. It delivers in its commitment to integrating a wide variety of ecumenical voices around teaching theology and globalization. -- Mark Chung Hearn -- Horizons in Biblical Theology
This book is of great interest as it relates the discussion of postcolonial reconstruction of theology to the field of theological education. It should inspire new discussions about the reformation not only of the content of theological curricula, but also of their methods and subjects. -- Stefan Silber -- Mission Studies
