1. The Crisis -- 2. The Boundaries of Christian Faith -- 3. Teaching the Church's Faith -- 4. Teaching Church Practice -- 5. On Choosing a Seminary Professor -- 6. The Moral Use of Endowments -- 7. Seminary Constituencies and Boards -- 8. The Recruitment of Students. Abstract "Drawing on his wealth of experience as both a seminary professor and minister, John Leith identifies and confronts the contemporary crisis in theological education. He argues that the crisis in the seminaries is interwoven with the crisis in the church, and that the secularization of educational institutions has led seminaries to move away from their primary responsibility - preparing pastors for ministry."--Back cover.
