Contents:
The professional model in the 1960s -- Finances, professionalism, and new directions -- The rights revolution and theological schools -- Catholic theological education -- Theology and governance : evangelicals, Missouri Synod Lutherans, and Southern Baptists in crisis -- Basic issues, the theological education debate, and globalization -- Under the hood : a new professional model -- Visions : a concluding reflective postscript.
Summary: I began studying American theological education in the 1970s, and Piety and Plurality is the third of three studies. In Piety and Intellect, I examined the colonial and nineteenth-century search for a form of theological education that was true to the church's confessional traditions and responsible to the intellectual demands of the age. In Piety and Profession, I described how that model was modified under the impact of the new biblical criticism and by the American belief in professionalism. In this volume, I have tried to bring the story up to date. Unfortunately, I did not find one unifyi.
