Review Quotes: [This] is a landmark document for evangelical scholarship. It is a document that unequivocally demonstrates that evangelicals are serious about academia. But it is also a document that unmistakably shows that academia must have a purpose that is bigger than an exercise of gaining knowledge as an end in itself. Desta Heliso, PhD Director, Ethiopian Graduate School of Theology (EGST) Chair, Association for Christian Theological Education in Africa (ACTEA) Theological education needs scholars educated at the highest academic levels who will use their scholarship as expressions of the deepest levels of faithfulness to the mission of God for the church and the world. The ICETE Best Practice Guidelines for Doctoral Programs provides a thoughtful de nition for quality in doctoral programs that meets this need precisely. Daniel Aleshire, PhD Executive Director, The Association of Theological Schools (ATS), North America
