A Lifelong Call to Learn
This is one of the most exciting books I've read in a long while. More than a responsible scholarly review of the field of adult continuing theological education, it is a manual for how to create an effective program for lifelong learning. Anyone involved in adult theological education, from seminary to informal peer learning groups, should own this book. --Israel Galindo, Dean and Professor of Christian Education Formation, Baptist Theological Seminary at RichmondThis is an exceptional resource--comprehensive in its identification of best practices in today's educational contexts and exploration of how lifelong learning has evolved over the past 50 years. After finishing this book, readers will view 'continuing education' in new ways, whether they participate in lifelong learning opportunities or plan them. --Dr. Kenneth J. McFayden, Professor of Ministry and Leadership Development at Union Theological Seminary and Presbyterian School of Christian Education and author ofStrategic Leadership for a Change: Facing Our Losses, Finding Our Future.Striving to learn is to accept an invitation to participate in a thoughtful human community by discovering a transforming power within us in relation to others. Robert E. Reber and D. Bruce Roberts urge us to cultivate excellent religious leaders who can contribute to spirituality in a global context by bringing diverse perspectives on continuing education. --Rev. Dr. HiRho Y. Park, Director of Continuing Formation for Ministry, General Board of Higher Education and Ministry--This text refers to an alternatePaperbackedition.
