What to Expect in Seminary

In What to Expect in Seminary, Virginia Samuel Cetuk looks at the various facets of theological education - the call to ministry, classroom learning, community life, field education, financial realities, time management challenges - through the lens of spiritual formation. In each chapter she challenges the reader to view the particular topic as an avenue to spiritual growth rather than an obstacle. Offering the reader the conceptual tool of reframing, she draws upon psychology, scripture, and her many years of experience in theological education to help the reader see both the challenges and the rich opportunities of theological education related to ministry and spiritual formation.
