Oganessian, Armen – Teaching Theology & Religion, 2023
This paper addresses a surprising phenomenon in the evangelical theological classroom.

Sheryl Johnson – Teaching Theology & Religion, 2023
Although the goals of consensus-based decision-making (CBDM) and the academic theological classroom are quite distinct (most notably that in the classroom, there is no need to come to a group decision), both share the aim of honoring all voices and perspectives and ensuring that marginalized voices and experiences are elevated. It is an important…

Yuckman, Colin H. – Teaching Theology & Religion, 2022
Perceptions about remote theological education inevitably cluster around questions of embodiment, community, and unity. The letters of the apostle Paul have quite a bit to say about these themes. This essay examines Paul's treatment of distance in the formation and education of Christians, focused around the image of the "body of Christ"…

Macallan, Brian Claude – Teaching Theology & Religion, 2021
The challenge of integrating best practice for teaching and learning is perennial.

Kang, Hanna – Teaching Theology & Religion, 2021

Davidson, Jennifer W. – Teaching Theology & Religion, 2021
Although development of trauma-informed pedagogy for elementary and secondary classrooms has developed significantly, a dearth of resources for trauma-informed andragogy in graduate theological classrooms remains.

This article…
