This concise introductory work explores the essentials of doing theological research and writing. It is a handy companion to assist persons as they begin and pursue theological education. It provides an overview of expectations that both various professors have shared and students have reported over many years as basic wisdom to foster quality theological work. It is a time-tested resource to guide those called to seminary study.
"Pazmiño shares principles, perspectives, and practices to help theological students do their study with head, heart, and hands, as a form of worship of God. I pray that many students (and faculty) will read this little book and put into practice what they find here. It will transform their experience of theological study."
