Should Seminarians Study Islam? World Religions and Theological Education
In the experience of many congregations, religious pluralism has moved from a theoretical concern to an everyday reality. Not only do most American Christians work alongside close colleagues devoted to a variety of faith commitments, but the religious landscape surrounding our congregations has become increasingly diverse in ways impossible to ignore. This workshop will focus on the challenge of religious pluralism for theological education. For what purposes would a seminarian study Islam or any other religious tradition beside Christianity?
Stan is the F.S. Royster Professor of Christian Missions at Union Presbyterian Seminary, Richmond, VA.
