5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Read for any theological student, November 27, 2002

This review is from: Brief Outline of Theology As a Field of Study (Schlelermacher Studies and Translations, Vol 1) (Hardcover)

In this masterful schematic outlining the proper organization of theological studies, Schleiermacher has hit upon the perfect balance between practical and theoretical, historical and constructive, pastoral and academic. The means for maintaining this balance continues to be a difficulty for seminaries, div schools, and religion/theology departments today. Anyone studying Christian theology from any perspective--whether with the goal of entering ministry or becoming an academic theologian or scholar of religion--stands to benefit from Schleiermacher's wisdom.
