The gift of theology to the church is our ability to be moved forward by our imagination under the power of the Spirit, to envision and re-vision, moving forward, being measured by God for divine purposes, and under the power of the Spirit to make a prophetic judgment on the world “moving forward in imagination, in mode of behavior, and in mode of reasoning…”.
Theological formation in India is in a state of flux. The changes in Indian society as a result of technological advancements, new sets of values, new understandings of spirituality, and life itself are some reasons for the same. In such a society how is theological teaching envisioned? This paper will dwell on the methods of teaching and learning employed and the resources and tools we have for the same.
