Who Needs the Pastor-Theologian Again
Or to say it again another way: The point of most pastor-theologian programs is to get more theology into the local church. The mission of the SAET is to get more of the local church into theology.

Welcome
Welcome to saet-online.org, the online home of The Society for the Advancement of Ecclesial Theology (SAET). The SAET is an organization dedicated to assisting pastor-theologians in producing biblical and theological scholarship for the renewal of orthodox theology, for the renewal of the church.

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.

Blessings in the New Year.
