What to Expect in Seminary: Theological Education as Spiritual Formation

In What to Expectnbsp;in Seminary , Virginia Samuel Cetuk looks at the various facets of theological education -- the call to ministry, classroom learning, community life, field education, financial realities, time-management challenges -- through the lens of spiritual formation. In each chapter she challenges readers to view the particular topic as an avenue to spiritual growth instead of as an obstacle to the same. Offering readers the conceptual tool of reframing, she draws upon psychology, Scripture, and her many years experiences in theological education to help readers see both the challenges and the rich opportunities of theological education related to ministry and spiritual formation.
