This book presents a vision for Glocal Theological Education, an invitation to rethink and reshape theological training in times of crisis. The aim is to train theological judicium, the ability to exercise sound judgment and practice discernment in the face of the different crises in the world of today--like the climate crisis, the changed role of the church, and the challenge of youth citizenship. It explores what has been learned from developing shared, global learning within the framework of local learning communities in Norway, South Africa, and beyond. The book also discusses key practices, such as the combination of coteaching online and learning in local contexts, and best-practice research on other educational activities. Contributors also reflect more theoretically on where, how, and what we can learn from crisis, and how these theoretical insights can help us shape theological leaders for the future who can read the times.

Reviews for Glocal Theological Education

"""Call it a crisis or not, theological education is in a time of major transition. Across the globe, consensus has arisen that things need to change; theological education needs new forms, new practices, new visions. But inside this consensus there has been despair, with no easy or straightforward pathway. It is amidst all the possibilities and perils that Glocal Theological Education arrives. This book will be an important resource in helping us all move forward faithfully."" --Andrew Root, professor of youth and family ministry, Luther Seminary ""Such a volume on theological education is timely. Nelson Mandela once said that there are three solutions for South Africa: education, education, education. Any crisis compels us to rethink and reimagine teaching and training. The book not only encourages us to do so but informs us in many ways on the why, what, and how!"" --Malan Nel, professor of practical theology and mission studies, University of Pretoria"
