On 29 September 2018, seven theological institutions in Singapore came together at a conference organised by the Ethos Institute for Biblical Christianity to discuss their common ministry of theological education.

The papers presented at the conference by the principals and presidents of the seven seminaries are published in this volume in the Ethos Engagement Series. It is hoped that those who are similarly involved in the important work of ministerial formation will benefit from the perspectives and insights that this collection of essays offers.
