This module aims at providing a prologue to the nature, purpose and problems of theological education both within the UK and internationally. It also critiques some contemporary and near contemporary debates and expressions of theological education in order to elucidate key ideas and practices with the explicit intention of providing a basis for the student’s critical judgment on his or her practice. In addition, it explores historical and contemporary models and theories that relate to the nature and role of the theological educator in order to foster the development of practitioners that are professional, reflective, holistic and maturing.
