- "In a rapidly changing congregational and professional environnment, how will churches and their institutions of theological education prepare ministers for diverse contexts ? Barker and Martin affirm the theological school's continued role yet claim that American Protestantism can no longer rely on graduate theological schools as the sole educational institutions charged with providing curricula for theological study related to ministerial preparation. The authors researched the graduate theological programs of [several denominations including the Episcopal Church and the United Church of Canada] and here share powerful new models for successful ministry preparation". -- back cover.
