À travers le monde émergent, la formation théologique évangélique connaît actuellement une croissance sans précédent. L'une des tendances les plus importantes de cette croissance est l'émergence progressive de programmes de doctorat évangéliques.Après une rencontre majeure à Beyrouth en 2010, le Conseil International de la Formation Théologique Évangélique (ICETE) a décidé de développer des ressources pour soutenir les écoles doctorales du monde émergent et les aider dans leur aspiration à une amélioration continue. Cet ouvrage présente ainsi ces ressources, y compris « les standards de Beyrouth » pour les programmes de doctorat, et une série de bonnes pratiques pour la formation doctorale.Inspiré par un engagement envers l'excellence, qui honore Dieu et se met au service de son Église, ce travail profitera aux écoles doctorales, aux étudiants et aux directeurs de thèse, aussi bien dans le monde émergent que dans le monde occidental.

An Enlightening Exploration of The Christian Church During One of Its Most Turbulent Times.

The formation of the modern world amidst a time of empire, upheaval, revolution, and war. Political, social, economic,and religious transformation took place, which dramatically affected society at large and in turn the years that followed. In this fascinating book, the author focuses on key people, themes, and events to show that while often society is influenced by the Church, the reverse is equally true, for good and bad. This is not a book that just looks at the Church in history but a gripping explanation of the intertwining of the two, with the huge challenges faced across the various emerging denominations, as they begin to be seen as a worldwide Christian church.  On this truly exciting journey, here are a few of the many events you will explore.  We look at life after the American War of Independence where different preachers took varying stances for it, against it and pacifistic. How the French Revolution toppled a monarchy and changed the relationship between church and state. How the European enlightenment accompanied the decline of the church along with emerging movements in Germany, the urbanisation of England after the industrial revolution and the rise in Christian socialism.  The results of the American civil war and the moral initiatives which resulted in the abolition of slavery,while the struggles with racism and anti‿Semitism continued. The landmark publication and acceptance of Charles Darwin‿s ‿The Origin of Species‿. Meanwhile there is an explosion in oversees missionary work with the likes of David Livingstone in Africa, Hudson Taylor in China, and William Carey in India. And finally,the setting of the scene for the arrival of World War One.
