Synopsis "The History of Theological Education "

Theological education has always been vital to the Church's life and mission; yet today it is in crisis, lacking focus, direction, but also resources and even students. In the early Church, there is no doubt that to lead worship one had to be able to read and interpret the Bible. In order to lead, it was necessary to know at least something about the history of Israel and the work of God in the Gospels, and interpret that history, making it relevant to daily living. Quickly the Church developed schools for its teachers, whether lay or clergy. A catechetical system was organized through which candidates prepared for baptism were given a basic form of theological education. Hence to be a Christian meant persons knew what and why they believed. But over the years, theological education has come to mean education for clergy and church professionals. It has drifted, seeking new moorings.

Justo L. González (Havana, 1937) is a Cuban-American historian and theologian, known for his extensive work in the history of Christianity and Protestant theology. He was the youngest doctor to earn a Ph.D. in Historical Theology at Yale University. He has been a professor at institutions such as the Evangelical Seminary of Puerto Rico and the Candler School of Theology in Atlanta. His ecumenical approach and commitment to theological education have made him an influential figure in Latin America and the Spanish-speaking world

Among his most notable works is the History of Christianity, published in two volumes between 1984 and 1985, covering from the early church to the contemporary era. He is also the author of History of Christian Thought, a trilogy that explores theological evolution from the early centuries to the present. Other relevant works include A Brief History of Christian Doctrines and Introduction to the History of the Church.
