Operating within the historic evangelical tradition, the SAET believes the contemporary bifurcation between the pastoral calling and theological formation has resulted in the loss of a distinctly ecclesial voice in orthodox theology.

Have you had a chance to read Daniel Treier’s “Introduction to Theological Interpretation: Recovering a Christian Practice”? I just read it over Christmas break and thought of the goal of SAET while doing so. Theological interpretation of Scripture would seem to be related in that it is reading (and responding) not for the academics, but for the Church. Just thought I’d mention it for whatever its worth. Blessings in the New Year.
