Theological Reflection: The Creation of Spiritual Power in the Information Age

Theological Reflection demonstrates the process of discovery that is at the heart of theological education- learning by reflecting on experience.

Theological reflection as presented in this book was developed to support a program of theological education called Education for Ministry (EFM). Its roots are both biblical and traditional, presenting those engaged in theology with the educational context for theological reflection as it has been developed by EFM over more than twenty-five years. It provides a way of learning theology so that participants can develop harmony between life's experience, the world, and the Christian faith.
