Abstract

This paper explores theological education through the lens of the prophetic model and focuses on three aspects of the prophetic activity: alerting the church to contemporary ‘fertility cults’, e.g. the subtle subjection of one’s faith to economic concerns, exposing the church’s ‘doctrinal’ description of a reality which rather conceals and obstructs the understanding of the church’s actual life, and appropriating the text in each context while remaining open to the challenge of other contextual readings.
