FAITH AND FREEDOM: A Study of Theological Education and the Episcopal Theological School

by George L. Blackman ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 11, 1967

Had the word ""historical"" been inserted in the title, the nature of this study of Episcopal theological education would have been more clearly indicated. The purpose is not, apparently, any critical examination of the present state of theological education in Episcopal institutions, except insofar as the historical account illuminates issues and indicates sources of present practice. As historical writing, the account is constructed with considerable detail, although always well-ordered and with even a genial tone. After a general historical chapter giving backgrounds in the earliest Episcopal developments in this country, succeeding chapters tell the story of the leading theological institutions--Gambier, General, Virginia, and others--the men who founded them and determined their character and the forces that shaped them. A readable narrative, instructive to Episcopal theologians in particular and other theological educators in general.
