| Summary: | Biblical studies as taught in formational/seminary contexts is often shaped by standard modern agendas of the academic discipline of ‘biblical studies’. The oddity is that particular topics highly pertinent to formation for ministry, especially ordained ministry, end up marginalized.

I argue that the formational agenda requires some revision of accepted academic approaches in the context of ministerial formation. |
