Abstract This paper acknowledges that many young adults today have poor content knowledge in theology and related fields. It argues that one way of addressing this is to teach more explicitly about seminal thinkers and their ideas as part of an integrated approach to religious education. One such figure is Augustine, a thinker of immense significance in the Christian tradition. By being familiar with the ideas of Augustine, students are more able to understand religious claims and to facilitate higher learning. Using a Vygotskian paradigm a number of suggestions are made on how best to teach Augustinian themes. These ideas rest on the concept of scaffolding of learning.

Abstract Mission studies in Britain and Ireland has changed significantly as a result of both global and domestic changes since 2000. This article, which updates an earlier one published in 2000 in the British Journal of Theological Education, analyses the changing nature, the changing location of mission in the academy, and the changing content of mission studies. In light of its findings and of the nature of mission studies as an internationalizing, boundary-crossing force in theology, the article also ends by asking whether and to what the extent mission studies impacts the teaching and study of theology in general in Britain and Ireland.

Abstract Theories of learning and adult education have often been connected to the broad arenas of theology and spirituality, but seldom applied within the specific context of a Christian worship service sermon. Traditional sermon practices have developed through a rich theoretical history but they are often structured as a one way, rhetorical speech act. This article is an attempt to provide a human learning lens as a different way of looking at sermon design and delivery. It includes a review of the homiletic literature including an exploration of the empirical research studies on sermon form and impact. Clergy, as adult educators, are encouraged to use principles from adult education such as those found in the constructs of transformative learning and andragogy. Significant theoretical shifts, both for the person delivering sermons and those who hear them, as well as practical implications come out of using this alternative paradigm.

Abstract This article relates the findings of research work on church based small groups carried out in the North-East of England. The research which combines qualitative and quantitative data from 56 church communities, confirms and extends research carried out in North America by Robert Wuthnow indicating that small groups are highly valued by participants as the means of spiritual growth but tend to be oriented towards the concerns and problems of members, acting primarily as a form of mutual support. Furthermore, the conceptualization of mature Christian discipleship identified by participants prioritizes personal qualities over action and thus reveals a notion of formation which is removed from encounter with the divine in the midst of the life of the world. The author argues that in the twenty-first century the cultural form on which church sponsored small groups are (often unknowingly) based is that of the self-help group, a form of small group significantly different from previous periods. In view of the increasing practice of belonging to small groups among churchgoers and the growing discourse on the relationship between small groups, discipleship and mission, it is necessary to recognize the weaknesses in the current cultural form and address these by relocating small groups with broader kingdom values and resourcing them in new ways.

Abstract With the increased use of distance education within theological studies, there is a need to better understand and determine consistently courses and programmes that can be taught effectively using technology based learning. This article outlines an education model that creates a decision-based method of determining good pedagogical analysis in determining which theological courses are appropriate for teaching through digital media. The article also touches upon benefits of such an approach which will bring better understanding and confidence to faculty and Registrars who seek to determine how well courses have been taught using an appropriate educational delivery platform.
