From Fallow Fields
to Hallowed Halls
A Theologian's Journey
John Dillenberger once mused that theological education was at its best when students at Union Theological Seminary in New York, who encountered Paul Tillich and Rheinhold Niebuhr talking in the corridor, could eavesdrop on their conversations. Now Dillenberger opens the doors to the many hallowed halls, classrooms, board rooms, presidents' offices, and art museums in which he has worked and conducts a candid, yet ever-gracious, tour. Like Rembrandt, he shines a revealing light on the faces of colleagues and detractors, not forgetting his own, and is forthcoming about the interplay of light and shadow in those images. Infusing every reflection is Dillenberger's debt for the gift that Tillich gave him as a young scholar – accepting that you are accepted, "a gift in which all is transformed, and in which one has the courage to be." This personal tour with Dillenberger is theological education at its best.— Andrew D. Scrimgeour, Drew University
