Comparative Moments: A Comparative Theological Orientation for Theological Education
Religious Education, v115 n3 p343-348 2020
This article argues for the deep integration of encounters with religious diversity into theological education. Some seminaries and theological schools, like Emmanuel College in the Toronto School of Theology, have made it a matter of institutional mission to prepare students to provide leadership and spiritual care in contexts of religious pluralism. The article draws upon the emerging field of comparative theology to propose methods and resources for this integration at the level of the introductory theology course.
