Theological Education and Character Formation in Nigerian Christianity: A Reflection

Abstract

This paper presents theological education and character formation in Nigerian Christianity. Some theologians and religious scholars do not offer any practical recipes in dealing with the major pressing problems of theological training for Christian ministry today in the 21st century Nigerian society. Some priests, lay workers and laity alike find it difficult to practice the Christian character traits which Jesus Christ himself exercised perfectly. The proper examination of these problems engages the aim of this paper. The method of approach is analytical based on the review of related literature.
