The narratives in this book give voice to the complex ways of learning within and beyond theological field education. This collection is essential reading for those seeking to deepen their understanding of contextual education, as well as engage actively in their personal and professional formation.

This collection of studies, the third book in Rowman and Littlefield's series Explorations in Theological Field Education, will undoubtedly prove to be as useful a resource to students engaged in contextual education-and to those who mentor them-as its predecessors have proved to be. Edited by two highly experienced field educators, the volume emerged from a colloquium held in 2019, supported by the Association for Theological Field Education and attended by North American field educators from a multiplicity of traditions, outlooks, and educational approaches. The intersectionality achieved by the weaving together of such varied voices is one of the many strengths of the book' making it both appealing and accessible to a wide range of readers. The editors are to be congratulated on compiling such an illuminating and welcome addition to the burgeoning literature on the formative nature of contextual education.
