Vose Seminary at Fifty: From ‘Preach the Word’ to ‘Come, Grow

Description

Vose Seminary began as the Baptist Theological College of Western Australia in 1963. To celebrate the fiftieth anniversary, this book brings together a collaborative history of the seminary with essays examining shifts in the church and theology over those fifty years. The contributions from twenty-five Vose staff, students and graduates demonstrate the generous evangelicalism which marks the seminary. The book is an account of where Vose Seminary has been over the last fifty years and an attempt to define the task which lies ahead for theological educators in equipping the church for the future.
