The Bible and Christian Theological Education

Abstract

Today Christians of every variety clamor for a return to the Bible. One would be hard-pressed to find anyone who does not stress Bible reading as a source of nourishment for the Christian life. Cuban Christians are no exception: the Church in Cuba has always placed great emphasis on the Bible in its life and work. It would be interesting, then, to outline the Bible’s place in Cuban theological education, as well as to suggest ways it should function in the future. In this essay we will, first, describe different types of biblical readings or approaches found in the past and present experience of the Cuban Church. Second, we will try to present certain emphasis relevant to our theological education with respect to the Bible.
