Theological educators will want to heed Golemon's superb history going back to the early days of the country. Clergy Education in America is a far different history of theological education and far superior to those focused on a school or a denomination. Golemon deftly portrays how Protestant pastors, Catholic priests, and Jewish rabbis shared a common aim for educating public leaders of religion and culture from the early days of the republic. What history lesson could more important for us today?
Larry Abbott Golemon is the Executive Director of the Washington Theological Consortium, which brings Byzantine and Roman Catholic, mainline Protestant, Evangelical, and Historic Black theological schools into partnership with institutes in Islamic, Jewish, Biblical, and Spirituality studies. He has contributed articles for Teaching Theology and Religion, Reflective Practice, and the Mercer Law Review.
