While there are many examples of notable institutions making this transition in North America and Europe, little reflection has been carried out in the global south.

Transforming Theological Education: A...
For several decades concern has been expressed about the need for greater integration and contextual significance in the curricular design of theological education. In addition there has been a growing awareness of the role theological schools should play in strengthening the missional vision and practice of local churches.

Drawing on lessons learned from this experience, and from the wider discourse currently taking place in higher education and especially in theological education, Transforming Theological Education provides theoretical foundations and practical principles for purposeful curriculum design, as well as tools for integrated and contextually significant learning in the classroom.

By perpetuating the false belief that there are some areas of life that are not important to God, some callings that are second-class, and some spheres of society that are not worth engaging, the sacred-secular divide diminishes our understanding of God, discipleship, missiology, and the gospel itself. This book provides theological educators with the tools they need to combat the divide in the very realm where it is so often generated: the classroom.
