Theological education with the help of technology
Erna, Oliver
Theology seemingly does not have a major impact on society anymore. However, Christianity
did not only change and form the western world over the past 2000 thousand years, it still has
a substantial role to play in society. This could be done through the development of theologies,
the recognition that religious topics are still major segments in the publishing industry and
the transforming potential of the Christian message on people. Although theological training
finds itself in a difficult position, technology offers support to teaching and learning, cuts costs
and offers solutions to a number of current problems concerning the effective formation of
ministers. It is no longer necessary to provide theological training through a one-size-fits-all
approach – a style that kept the pre-network society boxed. The aim is to motivate educators
in theology to embrace the opportunities provided by the network society in aiding with the
training of ministers by utilising current and future trends of development in technology.
