    Taxonomy of the Pastor-Theologian, Conclusion: Who Should Draw the Wider Circles?

    In my Taxonomy series, I’ve been arguing that we should reserve the term “pastor-theologian” for those particular pastors who write ecclesial theology.  But a few, at least, think I’ve defined the term too narrowly.  And they might be right.  But the central point I’m trying to make in the paper is still a point worth making, namely this: that the SAET is advocating for something different than what we typically think of when we hear the term “pastor-theologian.”  But methodologically, perhaps trying to wrench the term “pastor-theologian” into line …

    Second SAET Fellowship Launched – Openings Available!

    First SAET Fellowship Opening

    The pastoral calling too often isolates the pastor-theologian from the network of relationships so crucial to the theological task. Further, the demands and expectations of local church ministry seldom support the scholarly calling. In light of these hurdles, the SAET Fellowship was organized to provide a select group of pastor-theologians with the motivation, network, and resources necessary for the scholarly task.

    Pulling together a diverse body of evangelical pastor-theologians from across the country, …
