Reading Theologically

the long version

Cultivating mindsets toward texts, Reading Theologically brings together eight seminary educators from various backgrounds to explore reading in a seminary context -- reading theologically. Reading theologically is not just about academic skill building but about the formation of a ministerial leader who can engage scholarship critically, interpret Scripture and tradition faithfully, welcome different perspectives, and help lead others to do the same. This volume emphasizes the vital skills, habits, practices, and values involved in reading theologically and is a vital resource for students beginning the seminary process and professors of introductory level seminary courses. - Back cover.
