Theological Higher Education Befitting God: An Experiment
Aquino, Frederick D.; Hamilton, Mark W.
Christian Higher Education, v5 n1 p21-36 Jan 2006
"Interdisciplinary education" has become a catchphrase among Christian educators, but what does such a practice look like in reality? The authors, a systematic theologian and a biblical scholar respectively, reflect on their shared experiment in teaching students the doctrine of God. Their findings invite a rethinking of the nature of theological education, from the point of view of both the epistemological virtues necessary for learners and the collaboration of disciplines as resources for learning. They call for scholars to strive to talk together across disciplinary boundaries in order to foster students who think in theologically sophisticated ways. (Contains 1 endnote.)
