The authors are of the opinion that the rapid and fundamental social changes in South African society over the past few years have accelerated this "emergence of a sociological imagination" amongst South African theologians. In three sections, they point to three clusters of questions that have therefore become increasingly important, namely questions related to the growing awareness of the crucial role of social location or context, questions arising from a growing acknowledgement of public responsibility, and questions concerning the integrity of theological education, i.e. the question on what makes theological education "theological".15 pagesPDFenFaculty of Theology, University of PretoriaTheological educationPastoral theology -- Study and teaching.Christian Church -- Clergy -- SociologyChristianity and politicsChristian socialismChurch and social problems -- Reformed ChurchChurch and social problems -- Protestant churchesChurch and stateChristianity and international relationsClergy -- EducationArticle
