Blair's Ideals and Expectations in Theological Studies

Purpose

    The purpose of this paper is to help students; (1) to understand my "ideals" as a theologian, and (2) to know my expectations as a teacher. These thoughts do not claim to be a statement for Bishop Tucker Theological College, merely the viewpoint of one teacher. Certain statements may contradict the ideas of my colleagues. In sharing these thoughts I welcome criticism. I want to learn, from students and colleagues, about how to be a better teacher and especially a more faithful disciple of our Lord. 

As I set forth my ideals,  a kind of philosophy of doing theology, I want you to understand my outlook. I would be happy  if you agree with me; yet you may not, I respect your freedom. The second part dictates some specific requirements I have set as a teacher. You will be expected to follow these, they will be the basis of my marking your work.

Ideals
