Text in German / Based on the "Cycle of mission praxis" developed by Karecki the present
study develops a model for personality development for institutions of
theological training. This model presents a conceptual framework which
these institutions can use to develop a concept for the personality development
of their students. The model serves as methodological basis for
the development of character traits which qualify a prospective full-time
Christian worker for his/her ministry in the kingdom of God.
In a second step the model will be applied to the specific context of the
Theological Seminary of the Liebenzell Mission (ThSLM). This requires a
context-analysis which grapples with the societal developments during
the last decades in Germany with a special emphasis on the developments
in German evangelicalism. The analysis also deals with the
ThSLM. And it focuses on the individual student with his/her development
and potential.
The theological reflection develops framework principles of a biblically
oriented anthropology, points out the pastoral theological demands of potential employers, and relates these insights to Clinton's discoveries regarding leadership development.
The next chapter deals with the theme of identification. The question of
motivation is central for a concept like this. This applies also to the expectation with regard to the motivation and views of lecturers who teach in a school which is committed to a triadic view of education.
These investigations lead to the development, definition and description
of spiritual and social quality markers which are expected from future fulltime
ministers in mission work and which are therefore part of the curriculum
of the ThSLM.
The development of the concept is rounded off by the explication of concrete
steps for its implementation. These steps show how an institution
can assist students in the development of these quality markers.
The present study develops a model and applies this model by means of
an example. The model answers to the call which repeatedly appears in
missiological debates for a comprehensive, holistic development of spiritual
leaders. The study points out which steps institutions for theological
training can undertake to contribute to this goal in the early phase of ministry
preparation. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / D. Th. (Missiology)
