Geoff Thompson's book is a tract for our times. Working soundly within our changing cultural context he has carefully analysed the contested nature of theological education in the Uniting Church. He has reflected deeply on what it means to be a Church with a truly theological ministry that seeks to express the Gospel in fresh words and deeds (Basis of Union paragraph 11) while living fully in the world.- The Revd Dr John Smith, UCA Minister (retired), Honorary Research Associate, University of Divinity.
