Editorial Reviews

For many years I have been dreaming of the day when a handbook for academic leaders would be a reality. I was also hoping that the contributors could be from the global north and south with expertise in global theological education. My dream has come true! I am confident that the academic leadership in theological institutions will finally have a practical guide to enhance their noble mission in advancing theological education for the glory of God and the service of his church and world.

Foundations for Academic Leadership represents a valuable contribution to theological education. The contributors speak from their experience in various regions of the world, providing a global perspective. The chapters cover important aspects of academic leadership and over helpful orientation to deans, presidents, and other leaders in theological schools. The book promises to be a useful tool for training seminars as well as a valuable resource guide.
