The ACT, in common with non self-accrediting higher education providers, is not required to submit data on our research to the Australian Research Council (ARC).1 Nevertheless, in past years we have sought to account for ACT publications as though we were required to report them. Previously this has been reported in line with HERDC specifications, the previous reporting mechanism. From 2016, HERDC is no longer requiring publication data to be reported. This information instead is to be reported to Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA), Australia’s national research evaluation framework. We are now reporting using the ERA 2015 categories and specifications, which was the last round of this process. However, in order for our final score to be comparable to previous years, we have retained the 5-point weighting for books from the HERDC process. ERA uses the 5-point weighting in determining volume but not for final numbers. Only five types of research output were counted in the ERA 2015 process. These were: • books authored and published by commercial publishers • chapters in books published by commercial publishers • journal articles in peer-reviewed journals • conference papers published in the conference proceedings • non-traditional research outputs Edited books, book reviews, and articles in journals which are not peer-reviewed are not counted. Research output must comply with the definition of research as outlined by ERA: the creation of new knowledge and/or the use of existing knowledge in a new and creative way so as to generate new concepts, methodologies, inventions and understandings. This could include synthesis and analysis of previous research to the extent that it is new and creative. Researchers must be ACT affiliated, and where their primary academic role is elsewhere, the work must acknowledge the affiliation. Where there are multiple authors, the percentage of ACT affiliation is calculated. Output which does not meet the criteria has been included below to demonstrate broader impact but have not been included in the overall score. The ACT research points for the 2017 calendar year: 21.75 (x 5) 61 51.825 01 = 222.6 Rev Dr Martin Sutherland Dean & CEO, Australian College of Theology 1 All information on the ARC ERA process is taken from the website, http://www.arc.gov.au/excellence- research-australia.

  • Contents 2 More Loans = Better Grades Kerrie Stevens 9 Rare Book Cataloguing Miranda Fyfield 17 ANZTLA Statistics 2017 62 SA Chapter Report 2017
    Australian and New Zealand Theological Library Association No. 20 (2018) ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. his issue of the ANZTLA EJournal features some very interesting papers, as well as the always useful TANZTLA Statistics, and a report of the South Australian Chapter of ANZTLA detailing another busy year. Miranda Fyfield describes a fascinating course in rare book cataloguing whilst Kerrie Stevens provides some evidence that library use can result in better grades for students. Have you undertaken some training or attended a course that might be of interest to your ANZTLA colleagues? Why not write a summary of it and share your knowledge by submitting it to the ANZTLA EJournal... Kerrie Stevens, Eve James, Huw Sandaver ________________ ANZTLA EJournal Editorial Team Photo by Annie Spratt on Unsplash Contents 2 More Loans = Better Grades Kerrie Stevens 9 Rare Book Cataloguing Miranda Fyfield 17 ANZTLA Statistics 2017 62 SA Chapter Report 2017 More Loans = Better Grades: An Analysis Correlating Library Usage and Unit Grades Kerrie Stevens Abstract In response to the question, “Does the number of books checked out by a student correlate with higher grades?” this analysis looks at student grades for both HE (Higher Education) and VET (Vocational Education & Training) units and the number of average library loans borrowed whilst achieving those grades. It was found that, on average and in general, more loans results in better grades. Note: Data for student grades and library borrowing was taken from 2013, but it is believed that the principles demonstrated by the apparent correlation between loans and grades achieved would be comparable across any year. The 2013 data did not include ebook access so this could be another level of comparison for future research into this area.

  • Statement of Tuition Assurance
    1 STATEMENT OF TUITION ASSURANCE Under the provisions of the Higher Education Support Act 2003 (HESA) and the associated HEP Guidelines the Australian College of Theology (the First Provider) is required to provide a tuition assurance arrangement for Australian citizens or holders of an Australian permanent humanitarian visa who are enrolled in higher education courses it offers. This requirement is to protect a student in the event that the Australian College of Theology ceases to provide a course of study in which a student is enrolled. The meaning of ‘ceasing to provide a course of study’ is set out in the HEP Guidelines (http://www.backingaustraliasfuture.gov.au/guidelines/hep_guide.htm). In the event that the Australian College of Theology ceases to provide a course of study in which a student is enrolled the student is entitled to a choice of: a) an offer of a place in a similar course of study with a Second Provider without any requirement to pay the Second Provider any student contribution or tuition fee for any replacement units. If the Australian College of Theology is unable to provide a course of study, the student will be contacted by the most appropriate or convenient of the second providers, which will make all of the arrangements necessary (this is known as the “Course Assurance Option”); OR b) a refund of his or her up-front payments for any unit of study that the student commences but does not complete because the Australian College of Theology ceases to provide the course of study of which the unit forms part (this is known as the “Student Contribution/Tuition Fee Repayment Option”).

  • Theology Missional
    2019 Auckland New Zealand MiSsional Theology 2019 Auckland New Zealand Welcome from the President On behalf of the Council of ANZATS, it is my delight to welcome you to the 2019 ANZATS Conference. Let me begin by expressing – for all of us, I’m sure – our heartfelt thanks to the Conference Chair, Dr Myk Habets, and the rest of the local organising committee, for their tremendous work in convening this event. It goes without saying that we would not be here without their efforts. The Revd Professor As we gather over these next three days, Mark Lindsay President, ANZATS to share in conversation around our theme of ‘Missional Theology’, we will engage with one of the central challenges with which the Church of the 21st Century is faced. What ought mission look like in the future, now that the Church’s demographic resources, and her moral credibility, have been so fundamentally weakened? With the illusory comfort of ‘Christendom’, as well as the Church’s claim that she embodies a ‘better way’, now both firmly in the past, how does – how can – mission actually happen? These are perhaps the key existential questions for the Church’s missional vision. But there are other matters, too, that emerge from the day- to-day realities of ‘doing mission’, to which the Church is increasingly having to attend. 2 How does mission relate to old and new forms of worship? What does mission look like in the massive urban growth corridors of our major cities? Can mission be political? Can mission and non-conversionist interfaith dialogue co-exist? How do we respond to the reality that, for the first time in perhaps 1700 years, ‘the West’ is once again being evangelized by missionaries from Africa? As we explore these and other questions, it is a particular pleasure to welcome our keynote speakers – Professor Kirsteen Kim, and Dr George Wieland.

  • Australian College of Theology Annual Professional Development Conference
    Australian college of theology Annual professional development conference ‘Theological Education: Foundations, Practices, and Future Options’ Hosted for the Australian College of Theology by Sydney Missionary and Bible College Thursday 07 – Friday 08 December, 2017 Introduction. The organizing panel is glad to welcome you to the 2017 ACT Professional Development Conference. This is the third such conference. The panel is hopeful that this year’s conference will extend the trajectory of improvement in format and delivery, and in perceived usefulness, established by the two previous conferences. The theme was suggested by the title of the book that will be launched in the opening session of the conference. The appearance of such a book edited by two ACT faculty members and dominated by contributions from within the ACT community presented a unique opportunity which the organizing panel could not forgo. It shows that the learning and teaching culture in the ACT has reached a point at which a production of this nature and quality is possible. This is a development for a conference to celebrate and utilize as a platform on which to build. This is the aim of the conference. The ACT welcomes our two guest presenters, Kathryn Harden-Thew and James Dalziel. Neither is uninvolved in the operations of the ACT – Kathryn as a Director and James as a member of the Academic Board – but both also bring substantial expertise from, and experience of, the higher education sector at large. We thank them for their willingness to bring together their understanding of advanced higher education practice with the pedagogical needs of the ACT.

Theological Education in Australia: The Past and Present as Possible Indicators of Future Trends1 Presidential Address ANZATS Adelaide 2017 Robert K. McIver Avondale College of Higher Education Throughout its history, theological education in Australia has proved itself to be a miracle of survival in the face of the seemingly insurmountable challenge of a paucity of resources. It has largely taken place outside of the government funded universities.2 As a consequence, theological education has largely been located in a diversity of institutions—typically small and under-resourced, and most with some (often close) connection to a denominational entity or church organisation. This is in marked contrast with universities in Europe and North America, where theological education is deeply embedded into the university system, often forming one of the key faculties in the foundation of a university.

  • Welcome to the 72Nd Annual Meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society
    Welcome to the 72nd Annual Meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society I am very pleased to offer a personal welcome to this annual meeting. Our theme, “Christianity and Islam,” could scarcely be more relevant and urgent. The Christian encounter with Islam can now be traced through a millennium and a half of engagement. As evangelical scholars, our responsibility is to be ever faithful to Christ and ever more truthful in our commitment to the gospel. We are also called to truth, and to understanding the world around us more accurately and thoughtfully. That certainly includes our understanding of Islam, which has from the beginning represented an enormous challenge to Christian evangelism, apologetics, theology, and cultural engagement. Three evangelical scholars will help us in this task through plenary addresses: Ayman S. Ibrahim, Bill and Connie Jenkins Associate Professor of Islamic Studies and Director of the Jenkins Center for the Christian Understanding of Islam at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, will speak on The Authority and Function of the Quran in Islam. Timothy C. Tennett, President and Professor of World Christianity at Asbury Theological Seminary, will speak on Through the Prism: The Trinity and the Islamic Metanarrative. Thomas S. Kidd, Distinguished Professor of History, James Vardaman Endowed Professor of History, and Associate Director, Institute for Studies of Religion at Baylor University, will speak on American Christians and Islam: From the Colonial Era to the Post-9/11 World. Another highlight will be the Presidential Address, brought by ETS President Craig S. Kenner, F. M. and Ada Thompson Chair of Biblical Studies at Asbury Theological Seminary who will speak on A Mind for the Body.
