AB - Our church renewal comes from the renewal of the pastors’ ability to interpret the Bible, which starts from theological education in the seminary. Despite many diagnostics on the theological education, we argue that the urgency of the renewal of theological education lies in theologians themselves rather than the curriculum or its management. For achieving the church renewal, we suggest that biblical scholars must always consider the social location of their own biblical interpretation, only in the direction toward solving the current problems of the Church. Along with this, we emphasize the aim of theological education that a pastor should be a theologian, to a degree of maximizing one’s power of self-criticism by recognizing that s/he is the one who can wield the power at one’s own will over the faith community. To strengthen such consciousness, a biblical scholar must consistently train himself/herself with a critical reading of biblical texts, so that s/he may realize that the Bible interprets no other than himself/herself. Repetition of such process could enhance a biblical education in the theological seminary. As a result, the pastoral candidates will renew the local church through guiding the Bible teaching in the future.
