Christians used to know what and why they believed. Clergy were not the only ones who knew how to read and interpret the Bible or to know at least something of the history of Israel and the work of God in the Gospels and how it was relevant to daily living. Today, theological education is in crisis, lacking focus, direction, resources, and even students. In his newest historical effort, Justo L. González presents a wide-angle view of the nature and purpose of theological education, its curriculum and parameters, and shows how it has drifted, seeking new moorings.
