Download or read book The History of Theological Education written by Dr. Justo L. Gonzalez and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2015-03-17 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theological education has always been vital to the Church’s life and mission; yet today it is in crisis, lacking focus, direction, but also resources and even students. In the early Church, there is no doubt that to lead worship one had to be able to read and interpret the Bible. In order to lead, it was necessary to know at least something about the history of Israel and the work of God in the Gospels, and interpret that history, making it relevant to daily living. Quickly the Church developed schools for its teachers, whether lay or clergy. A catechetical system was organized through which candidates prepared for baptism were given a basic form of theological education. Hence to be a Christian meant persons knew what and why they believed. But over the years, theological education has come to mean education for clergy and church professionals. It has drifted, seeking new moorings.

The book is not rooted in a unified orthodoxy but expresses the bandwidth of contemporary theological viewpoints.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where do you go when life overwhelms you? Before the Throne. God’s people know they can turn to Him when times get tough. Instead of trying to fix things on our own, we can enter God’s throne room in prayer. The access granted to us by Jesus our High Priest is our comfort when the world is turned upside down. In Before the Throne, Crickett Keeth, author of On Bended Knee, offers a follow-up study of eight prayer warriors from Scripture who turned to God when times became difficult. You’ll learn to pray with: Moses in times of disappointment The Psalmists in times of need Jonah in times of disobedience Hezekiah in times of battle Habakkuk in times of questioning Jesus in a time of intercession Paul in times of hardship Revelation saints in times of worship Crickett’s studies are known for taking you deep—then even deeper!—into God’s Word. As you study these prayers, you’ll be strengthened as you see how these godly Bible characters poured out their hearts to God and how He responded to them. You’ll learn how to pray with the same power when you feel weak, helpless, stressed, or afraid. As you turn your focus toward God’s character through prayer, He will supply the strength you need to face whatever is before you. Because that’s the privilege you have when you come Before the Throne. “Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” Hebrews 4:16
