Theological Education in the Bible and in Some Later Church Traditions

Summary/Abstract: This article tries to provide a biblical and theological basis for Christian involvement in education and in intellectual and cultural life and in scholarship. It offers a brief survey of both testaments of the Bible, along with elements from rabbinic Judaism, in regard to this subject. Then it moves to medieval theology, esp. Thomas Aquinas. Then it moves to the role of the question in modern philosophy as the generator of personal thought and creativity, in Heidegger, Hannah Arendt and Karl Rahner. It also discusses the classical work by A.D. Sertillanges entitled The Intellectual Life. It concludes with the connection between study, thinking and prayer, according to John Macquarrie.
