Theological Education in the Twenty-First Century

This article examines the significant changes that are taking place in the church and in the larger society in the twenty-first century and their implications for theological education. Three key questions are addressed in an attempt to engage the theological education community in this reflective process: (1) How can we gain insight into tomorrow’s opportunities? (2) What will be the nature of our competition and how may it be different? (3) How can we energize our institutions to fulfill their mission in challenging times of change such as these?
