Summary: Written with various Protestant branches in mind
Review: Written with various Protestant branches in mind, Multiple Paths to Ministry: New Models for Theological Education asks the question: how can churches and theological institutions prepare ministers for the diverse and changing demands of the twenty-first century? Professors emeritus of the United Theological Seminary and editors Lance Barker and B. Martin affirm that American Protestantism can no longer rely solely on graduate theological schools to provide aspiring ministers with all the preparation they will need. Multiple Paths to Ministry collects essays by diverse authors concerning such topics as alternative paths to ordination, a historical inquiry into the role of the seminary, radical reformation and renewal of ministries in small churches, and much more. A cutting-edge discourse of how to meet the changing needs of those who follow the Protestant faith.
