Overview

The call for integration in theological education is a call for theological training that reverberates through the whole person: from the head, to the heart, to the hands.

In this book, Dr. David C. Wright provides a powerful biblical and pedagogical framework for holistic learning, exploring current approaches to integration through the lens of Paul’s letters to Timothy and Titus. He develops eight principles for combining theological studies with godly character formation and hands-on ministry skills, and offers practical guidance for putting those principles into practice. Each chapter is followed by questions for discussion and reflection, and educators around the world will find this a valuable resource for furthering the process of integration in their own classrooms and contexts.

Praise for the Print Edition

David has approached his research with academic rigour, strong biblical connection, and an earthed pastoral formation focus. Integration is well-positioned to be a readable, appreciated discussion partner for those navigating the challenging but fulfilling task of equipping Christian leaders in ways which demonstrate coherence between theological values, character formation, and ministerial skills development.

--Allan Harkness, PhD. Asia Graduate School of Theology Alliance, South East Asia

This book is pivotal in making significant biblical reflections on 1 & 2 Timothy and Titus, thought-provoking in engaging with the global scholarship, and renewing in its analyses of the processes and principles of integration. A vital resource, which will surely inspire kingdom-concerned educators to realise ways in which the current practitioners of theological education should embrace change with authentic biblical understanding!

--Jessy Jaison, PhD. New India Bible Seminary, Kerala, India

Integration and theological education are complex topics, and Wright navigates well through the growing body of literature, creating helpful summaries, critiques and taxonomies for analysis as well as identifying gaps and making some original proposals.

--Marvin Oxenham, PhD. London School of Theology, UK
