Description

A lot is being written about online theological education.  Some of it is mediocre.  Some is good. And some is very good. 

For more than 50 years the ATS journal Theological Education has published scholarly discourse and reports on issues and trends, research findings and resources, and models of critical analysis and effective practice in graduate theological education.  The recent issue 'Online Theological Education' (2019, Vol. 52, No. 2)  features a set of articles exploring the efficacy of online theological education that are both refreshing, scholarly and practical. Here is a chance to engage with this publication and receive ICETE Academy certification for your learning.
