Ministry in Context: A Guide to Theological Field Education and Ministry Internships in Australia and New Zealand has been written for students, field placement supervisors, and theological college coordinators to introduce the basic principles and practices of theological field education and ministry internships. The book covers all aspects of field-based learning, including biblical and historical foundations, the place of calling and vocation, the importance of supervision, the practice of theological reflection, and the setting and evaluation of goals. Chapters have been written by experts across Australia and New Zealand and reflect the diversity and cultural uniqueness of this region.
Industry Reviews
“A wonderful resource for theological field educators on any continent, precisely because it takes formation for ministry seriously as an embodied, relational, and even communal experience in context that is deeply theological and sustained by the Triune God of grace.”
—Matthew Floding, co-editor of Reflective Practice: Formation and Supervision in Ministry

“This text and its authors dive deeply into the practical and biblical depth of ministry, inviting the reader to shape their field education and ministry internships programs to enter the profound theological depth of ministry itself.”
—Andrew Root, author of Churches and the Crisis of Decline

“I am very pleased to recommend this book and delighted that the ACT has been able to support its publication. This is the ‘missing’ book to help those managing, teaching, and mentoring in field education.”
—James Dalziel, Australian College of Theology

“An essential resource for students, theological educators, and ministry overseers who are committed to the kind of formation that produces practitioners who are life-long learners.”
—Linda Flett, Laidlaw College

“A comprehensive and accessible guide for those who have the privilege of forming Christian leaders.”
—Geoff New, The Knox Centre for Ministry and Leadership

“Traversing the terrain of theological education, ministry practice, and formal field education (with requirements for supervision, assessment, etc.) is akin to traveling across a glacier with many hidden and deep crevasses. This volume bravely navigates this for Australians because each contributor knows too many students who have been lost in one of those crevasses. Their wisdom, care, and experience should be heeded by all undertaking the risky adventure of theological field education.”
—Geoff Broughton, Charles Sturt University

“Reading this book, I found myself saying ‘Yes’ to so many of the insights shared by this diverse group of authors. Although specific to Australia and New Zealand, the content is easily transferable to other contexts in our increasingly secularized, post-pandemic world. Practical, pastoral, and process oriented, this book is a great resource for students, supervisors, and the academy.”
—Susan MacAlpine-Gillis, Atlantic School of Theology
