The case for a

Abstract

"This paper suNeys a potentially helpful method of theological education called the "case-study" approach. The oveNiew briefly describes this technique, notes some analogous indigenous African and biblical forms, presents its definite advantages as an inductive teaching tool, and points out a number of limitations in its practice. The conclusion is that while the case-study method has a lot to ,offer theological educators in Africa, it should not be employed on its own, but rather as part of a larger, integrated programme of instruction, whether formal or informal."
