| Summary: | In this address the beginnings of theological education in this country are traced to the practical needs of the various denominations for an educated ministry who should intelligently maintain denominational beliefs. The curriculum of the early seminary is described. The changes of a century in American ideals and social habits are described, and the resulting changes in religious ideas and problems are indicated. The task of modern theological education is outlined with special reference to the social gospel, the movement for Christian unity, the interest in religious education, and the fundamentalist movement. Emphasis is laid on the necessity for organizing scholarship and research in better correlation with the needs of the church. |
