Barbara G. Wheeler, Sharon L. Miller, Katarina Schuth/ February 2005
This issue on theological school faculty and doctoral students, who are the theological faculty of the future, revisits a topic first studied ten years ago by the Auburn Center for the Study of Theological Education. The findings of the present study, compared with those of Auburn’s earlier research, suggest that theological education is, on the whole, a stable enterprise. On many items and indicators, theological faculty and theology and religion doctoral students today look and sound very much like those surveyed ten years ago. In some other areas there are slight but steady changes over the decade that may indicate trends and a few dramatic changes that invite analysis and interpretation. This report also address a new topic—theological faculty members’ teaching practices and attitudes toward teaching.
The previous reports on theological faculty, “True and False”, and “Tending Talents,” as well as all back issues of Auburn Studies may be found on the Center’s website: www.auburnsem.org.
