Gerontology in Theological Education

Gerontology in Theological Education provides a wealth of useful information to those interested in planning the introduction or improvement of gerontological materials in the curriculum of theological schools. The need for including aging in the professional education of the clergy is clear, yet it is a relatively unmet need. In response to this general lack of gerontological training in theological education, this landmark volume documents a model project planned and implemented at the Gerontology Center at Georgia State University and provides suggestions for its use elsewhere.Administrators and faculty will find here the results of a national study of gerontology in theological education. Detailed descriptions of eight innovative programs nationwide and an extensive bibliography will also provide guidance for administrators and faculty interested in locating materials that relate to their gerontological concerns
