Robert W. Pazmiño – författare

For almost twenty years, Foundational Issues in Christian Education has been a key text for many Christian education courses. Its perceptive analysis coupled with clear writing make it a resource without peer. In the book, Christian education expert Robert Pazmiño guides readers through a comprehensive discussion of the interdisciplinary foundations of Christian education, calling all Christian educators to reevaluate the fundamentals of their discipline. "A careful exploration of foundations," writes Pazmiño, "is essential before specifying principles and guidelines for practice."This updated edition includes interaction with professional developments over the past ten years and appendixes that assess the impact of postmodernism as an educational philosophy. In addition, each chapter includes "points to ponder" for personal reflection or classroom use.

This historical study describes those issues that confronted New York Theological Seminary and the field of theological education in the years 1969 through 1975. Under George W. Webber's leadership, New York Seminary sought a reform in education for ministry by emphasizing contextual and field-based education that includes laity, clergy and seminarians. This book presents this unique story of a successful innovation in theological education that continues today. Contents: include: The Context: Theological Education in the Postwar Period; New York Theological Seminary, 1969-1975: Changing Times; Renewed Conceptions of Theological Education; and Contributions and Implications.
