Description

Theological education is a vital aspect of Christian mission. The training of evangelical doctoral students in theological subject areas is therefore an important part of the mission of God. This handbook presents doctoral supervision as a task involving both academic and spiritual formation. Designed to be practical and relevant, and to encourage self-reflection at both individual and institutional levels, it combines theological foundations with educational theory accompanied by questions, exercises and case studies to develop doctoral-level skills. Central to the theme of this handbook is the promotion of excellence in academic training combined with a strong focus on the spiritual and pastoral dynamics of supervision – a combination that evangelical students desperately need from their supervisors.

I am delighted to see this text! It will be very, very helpful right across the Majority World and also useful for many supervisors in the West. I kept thinking back to my own time as a PhD student in Cambridge and how different things were then! . . . The integration of the evangelical, spiritual, pastoral, and ethical dimensions in with the academic, practical and technical ones, works very well. This is a good “Christian” read, as well as a good “academic” handbook. Christopher J. H. Wright International Ministry Director, Langham Partnership I consider this handbook to be quite outstanding. I have not read anything of this kind before, designed as it is for doctoral supervisors within the evangelical community. I greatly appreciate the emphasis Ian Shaw places on spiritual formation and pastoral care. He faces up to evangelical challenges and offers solid and creative suggestions. The case studies and the questions are excellent. I commend this enthusiastically. Ian Randall Senior Research Fellow, International Baptist Theological Study Centre, Amsterdam This book is brilliant! I wish I had had something like this twenty years ago! If partner institutions can implement a good proportion of all the recommended good practice, I suspect that they will be doing better than many much better-known programmes around the world. I particularly enjoyed reading the material on surface learning and deep learning, and the whole issue of critical thinking. Here and in so many places through the book, there is really practical guidance abouthowhelp develop such skills. Often, I think, to supervisors recognise such weaknesses in students, but if these issues haven't really been a problem for them personally they find it hard to know how to help students develop such skills. I hope and pray this book will be warmly welcomed and widely used. Stephen Travis former Vice-Principal of St John’s College, Nottingham

Everything you need to know about doctoral supervision is in this handbook! It is both scholarly and practical, with emphasis on the holistic formation of evangelical scholars. This comprehensive guide is a valuable gift to global theological education. It will be a useful resource in equipping our doctoral supervisors and enhancing the quality of doctoral programs in theological institutions in the Majority World.
