More Description

Originating as papers presented at the 4th SCD Learning and Teaching Theology Conference, the essays in this volume continue the discussion that began in the preceding volume, Wondering About God Together (SCD Press, 2018). There the practice of research-led learning and teaching was recognised to influence graduate outcomes and prompted the present discussion as to what kind of graduates were being produced. The areas addressed in this volume provide a set of lenses through which an answer to this question might begin to emerge. They include a discussion on what it might mean to move towards the forming of God's exemplary graduates; reflections upon the biblical foundation of graduate character; pedagogical principles for graduate development and a robustdiscussion on practical ways that teachers can engage in the classroom with graduate outcomes in mind. The final section which brings the discussion to afitting conclusion reflects on relevant implications for the successful pastoral graduate.
