Abstract
This article contends that theological training supported by effective mentoring can contribute
to the shaping of theology students in terms of their spiritual growth, character development
and ministry formation. It is further argued that mentoring as a supportive pedagogy needs
to be an essential element of theological education. Subsequently, guidelines for making
mentoring an effective pedagogy in theological training are proposed. A lot has been written
about mentoring; however this article focuses on the use of mentoring as a supportive
pedagogy in denominational seminaries as a means of fostering the holistic development of
theology students
