Abstract: The first [premise] is that some form of theological education is part of the very essence of the church … .The second premise is that theological education as we have understood it in the last few centuries is in crisis … .The third premise serves to qualify the second, for it is that, while theological education in the sense of that traditional establishment is in crisis, theological education in a wider sense is not … Finally, the fourth premise is that the study of the history of theological educationparticularly of theological education in the wider senseis one of the best tools we can use for guidance in the future.'(JustoL. González) 1 'The ways in which institutions have reified the tropes of White, heteronormative patriarchy are embedded so deeply that it should come as no surprise that most of those engaged in the enterprise of Christian theology do not see it … .Until we can deconstruct the hegemonic power of Whiteness at the heart of theological education … we will continue to reify the normative power of White epistemological frameworks …'(Anthony G.
