Format:Paperback
This is a marvellous short little book by an experienced pastor-scholar in which he turns aside from his usual lecture format and gives the young theological student heart-felt advice. With penetrating insight he shows the dangers that theological students, young theologians, and inexperienced ministers fresh out of college can face. "A person who pursues theological courses is spiritually sick unless he reads the Bible uncommonly often," he tells us - and how right he is... In days when trendy theologians and impressive sounding preachers can capture even the brightest graduates and drag them off into dangerous and speculative blind alleys, these words are still relevant. I read this book at least once every year, and I heartily recommend such an exercise to others.

Should Be Required Exercises For All Theologians 30 July 2000
By B.D. - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Even though 20+ years old, timeless wisdom gently whispers from these pages from a veteran theologian. Not only young practitioners should heed this sage preacher's advice, but all who seek to communicate God's truth should re-read this volume at least once a year to review the fundamentals, re-focus on the hows and whys of basic hermeneutics, and abide by the Biblical dictum, "Do not go beyond what is written." Variety at the expense of verity is vanity. This book is must reading at thrice the price!

Good advice to warn the new theologian 10 Nov 2000
By Robert Knetsch - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Helmut Thielicke, well known throughout the theological world for his prolific writing, sermons and theological prowess has written a remarkably gentle and pastoral book that should be essential for anyone venturing into the world of academics and theology.

Perhaps many of us had experience with people who, when they begin theological studies, they have a way about them of thinking they know more than the typical "lay" person, that they have risen above simplistic faith. I too struggle with this feeling as I read the great theologians who are out there. Not that I know more; its just that sometimes I think I do!

His warning and advice, then, comes as a stern but loving warning to be careful and wary. For os it not more important that we be people who help the people of God, rather than divide because of our elitist attitude? Thielicke perhaps not only is writing this to the "young" theologians who read it, but to himself, a man who is steeped in so much knowledge.

An essential and edifying book for all. Read and enjoy.

This book, though small in size, is large in content. 24 Dec 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
The book contains an important message for those interested in the pursit of theologies. Translated from German, it maintains the integrity of the thoughts expressed by the author. Theologians are admonished to not overwhelm the people with the use of knowledge just acquired. A caution about losing focus on the message of the Scriptures being God speaking to mankind is offered. Some may need a dictionary in hand due to some of the words used in the book. One who heeds Thielicke's advice will avoid many mistakes common to young theologians. Don Laughary
