Most people in ministry roles, particularly those in ‘Specified Ministries’, have spent a significant period of time slaving over books in formation and preparation. These books have given guidance and help create platforms on which to initiate and build a successful ministry. But who has time to read once they get into that ministry situation, especially when there is a lot of chaff to discard from the wheat that is quality Christian literature?
e-Theo is an online book review service, written especially with time-starved pastors, chaplains, ministers and other ministry workers, lay and ordained, in mind. e-Theo looks at a range of titles – contemporary and classic - anything that can enhance, develop and nurture people who minister, their ministry and their environments.
In this first issue of e-Theo, Clive Pearson tackles Missiology, Michael Earl looks into Preaching and Worship leading, Ben Myers finds the similarities between Dr. Barth and Dr. Seuss, and Sef Carroll shares some of the resources she has found helpful in her research in Interfaith Relations.
e-Theo will be published on this website three times a year. If you have a particular book that you would like to see reviewed, or if you would like to contribute a review, please feel free to contact us through the Camden Theological Library.
e-Theo is a joint project between the Camden Theological Library, the School of Continuing Education and United Theological College.
Enjoy!
