Experiences of Priests Ordained Five to Nine Years

Theological Reflection and Education for Ministry:The Search for Integration in Theology
Paver, John. E.
Ashgate Publishing Company, Burlington, VT
2006
From the Publisher
A major and continuing problem for theological education and the practice of Christian ministry is how to best achieve a genuine integration between theory and practice, theology and experience. The key claim of this book is that theological reflection, beginning with experience, is a method of integration and that pastoral supervision is a vehicle for theological reflection. In establishing this claim, John Paver demonstrates...

Ruger, Anthony, and Barbara G. Wheeler
The Auburn Center, New York

Bass, Dorothy C., and Craig Dykstra, eds.
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, Grand Rapids, MI

Pedagogy of the Bible: An Analysis and Proposal
Martin, Dale B.
Westminster John Knox Press, Louisville
2008
From the Publisher
For generations, most seminary teaching of the Bible has focused on the historical-critical method. While this method has been the assumption in almost every seminary curriculum, the actual effects of this approach to Scripture have hardly been examined. From studying the biblical studies courses at ten different seminaries and divinity schools, Dale Martin learned what faculties were doing and what students were hearing. This...

From Midterms to Ministry
Cole, Allen Hugh, ed.
William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, Grand Rapids, MI
2008
From the Publisher
In this collection of essays, a seasoned group of ministers, scholars, and theological educators share reflections, born out of personal experience, on the transition from seminarian to minister. All the authors have worked with two assumptions. First, they acknowledge that the school experience, though related, is a different world from the ministry setting. Secondly, they point out that while these arenas share things in common...

Teaching Preaching as a Christian Practice: A New Approach to Homiletical Pedagogy
Long, Thomas G. and Leonora Tubbs Tisdale, eds.
Westminster John Knox Press, Louisville, KY
2008
From the Publisher
Preaching's most able practitioners gather in this book to call for a radical change in how Christian preaching is taught. Arguing that preaching is a living practice with a long tradition, an identifiable shape, and a broad set of norms and desired outcomes, these scholars propose that teachers initiate their students into the larger practice of preaching-the habits of mind, patterns of action, and ways of being that are integral...

Artisanal Theology: Intentional Formation in Covenantal Companionship
From the Publisher
Paradox and surprise face those who pursue deeper spiritual practice, theological wisdom, and even a religious calling "into the ministry." Unbeknownst to incoming students, the pursuit of theological education in established institutions today furthers a faith that is recognizable in delight and compassion, even as it may just as easily deform it into a moral duty and autonomous professionalism so divisive in today's religious...
