Feedback and evaluation, both of oneself and by others, are the lifeblood of a successful ministry experience. In A Guide to Theological Reflection,
experienced practical ministry professors Jim Wilson and Earl Waggoner
introduce the processes and tools of theological reflection for
ministry.
Effective evaluation includes critique and potential course
correction for the honest and willing minister, as well as positive
affirmation of how one's desires influence good ministry decisions. A Guide to Theological Reflection
introduces tools by which a minister can interact with his or her own
thoughts, beliefs, and feelings; external feedback, such as that of a
ministry supervisor; and Scripture to inform deep and transformative
theological reflection.
Designed as a textbook for practical ministry courses and theological field education, A Guide to Theological Reflection
can also be used in ministry contexts. It provides guidance for
students, ministers-in-training, mentors, and advisors, laying a
theoretical foundation for theological reflection and demonstrating
step-by-step how to practice it well.
