In What Ways does Theological Knowledge Contribute to Thinking about Theological Education?

Abstract

Abstract Contemporary secular society has created a greater divide between faith and reason. Religion in certain quarters through its bias towards apologetic foundationalist epistemology has further driven religion and faith into the private realm limiting any valued contribution theology can make to thinking about education. The article therefore proposes a postmodern intertextual method utilizing a radical correlation of acculturation, following Tillich, resulting in a new paradigm of theonomy. Such an approach can provide a creative alternative to foundationalism allowing theology to once again contribute meaningfully to thinking about education.
