Rethinking Reproducibility: An Equipping Model for Missionary Theological Educators

Abstract

Reproducibility has often been reduced to the ability to simply replicate what has been taught. However, true reproducibility is the ability to produce or create something new in a new context. This article argues, then, that the central task of theological education in missionary contexts should be to locate, equip, and empower God-called individuals with theological aptitude, servant attitudes, and missional awareness to carry on the task of the Great Commission.
