Here is a post from Jeremy Berg about Dan Kent’s new program that is a self-assessment tool for Theology. I could see Depts of Theology dipping into the school budget to finance students taking the test and then using it as an assessment tool. (It costs five dollars.) Take it and tell us what you think!<\/i><\/p>\n
The Web of Theology (WOT)<\/a> <\/span>is a one-of-a-kind theological self-assessment tool that is a must for every thoughtful Christian, and over time should become widely used by churches and Christian colleges and seminaries.<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n WOT architect Dan Kent has provided us with the theological equivalent of the StrengthFinders, Myers-Briggs and DISC assessments. It’s time we take inventory of not only our spiritual gifts, personal strengths and personality traits — but also the foundational theological beliefs that shape our deepest Christian convictions and practice.<\/span><\/p>\n What is The Web of Theology?<\/span><\/p>\n The Web of Theology is an assessment No belief exists in (1) Expose the logical and symbiotic (2) Greatly increase our (3) Help us understand why others (4) Personalize and simplify the (5) Expose how our FAMILY may (6) Expose how our VALUES may (7) Expose our theological And MUCH more!<\/span><\/p>\n THE WOT FOR COLLEGES<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The Web of Theology was originally As useful as the WOT is for the (1) Be leveraged during the accreditation (2) Be tailored to support various (3) Be employed to measure and assess (4) Be used to track quality control, THE WOT FOR CHURCHES<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The Web of Theology is a GREAT way to Start with the leadership team.

\ntool that provides users with a robust analysis of their theological
\nworldview. After answering about 60 questions the Web of Theology
\nautomatically constructs an in-depth profile of each user’s theology, filled
\nwith charts, pictures, and intriguing insight.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nisolation. We often believe things because of <\/span>other <\/span>things we believe. For instance,
\nwhat we think about the nature of Jesus is often dictated by what we think
\nhuman nature is. Our beliefs are interrelated in unique and complicated
\nways. The Web of Theology can:<\/span><\/p>\n
\nrelationship between our many beliefs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\ncomplicated, abstract and intangible concepts of theology.<\/span><\/p>\n

\ninfluence our beliefs.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nstrengths and weaknesses.<\/span><\/p>\n
\ndesigned for use in an academic setting. Students who take the WOT will
\ngain a deeper self-awareness and an increased tolerance for differing
\nperspectives, all while engaging modern technology. Plus, the WOT can be
\ncustomized so that students are given results-based assignments, custom
\ntailored for each students idiosyncratic perspective. Clearly, for the
\nstudent, the WOT is a perfect foundation for learning.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nstudent, the metadata from the WOT is powerful for the institution. The
\ncustomizable WOT data can:<\/span><\/p>\n
\nprocess with customized metrics.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nfund-raising initiatives.<\/span><\/p>\n
\ncourse leadership quality<\/span><\/p>\n
\nstrategic initiative, and mission effectiveness over time.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nattain valuable data about the health and status of your congregation and\/or
\nstaff. The great thing about the WOT for churches is that everybody gets
\nsomething out of it. Each participant gets their own in-depth theological
\nanalysis and the church leaders get powerful metadata, giving them the
\nvisibility to more effectively lead.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nHave each leader take the WOT and compare profiles. You will be surprised
\nat what you find.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nwant to assess the congregation. Three things about this:<\/span><\/p>\n

\nspecific objectives. Speak with a WOT team member about customization.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nyear. The tool can help expose immediate needs that the congregation may
\nhave. The tool can show where the congregation is lacking in
\nunderstanding.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nyour objectives. The WOT team can help your leadership team create the
\ndata and metrics you need to support your mission. We can even do
\ncomparables to show the before-and-after data to measure the impact and significance
\nof a specific campaign. Contact the WOT Team for more information.<\/span><\/p>\n
