Reviews

'Finding ways to help ministers to reflect theologically and profitably on life and practice is one of the most important tasks in ministerial education. There is widespread agreement that existing ways of doing this are often frustrating and not really fit for purpose. Helen Collin's take on this challenge situating theological reflection in relation to the study of the bible. This is an important contribution to the developing conversation around this vital area." -- Pete Ward, Durham University, UK
"This is an important book that challenges some of the dominant approaches in practical theology. It seeks to recover the authoritative role that Scripture has in theological reflection, which is to be welcomed. It also pays attention to the role of the Holy Spirit and Christian experience. As such, it provides a timely contribution to the field. I commend it to students and scholars alike." -- Mark Cartledge, London School of Theology, UK
