Summary
Helping people to become independent interpreters of their faith has long been the concern of American practical theology. Its educational goals are historically intertwined with its methodological and encyclopedic progress. This study lays out how "theological education” emerged as a central issue of the discipline in the U.S. and relates its conceptual work to German scholarship on religious education and Bildung.
