Review Quotes:
For many years I have been dreaming of the day when a handbook for academic leaders would be a reality. I was also hoping that the contributors could be from the global north and south with expertise in global theological education. My dream has come true!
I am confident that the academic leadership in theological institutions will finally have a practical guide to enhance their noble mission in advancing theological education for the glory of God and the service of his church and world.
