that a lecturer's theology strongly influences his
teaching, we must now re-examine the data to see if we
can verify the primacy of that theological influence.
Two not yet considered survey questions enable us to
check correlation between the teaching of preaching and
two other potentially important factors, both relating to
the educational setting in which the lecturer teaches.
First, we consider the college's relation (or lack of
relation) to an established university. Second, we look
at the college's denominational leaning.
IV. Institutional Subgroup Responses
Survey question nineteen asked each lecturer to
describe his teaching setting by placing it in one of
three categories. The categories and the number of
survey respondents teaching within each are as follows:
Table 43
One department of a larger university: 6
An independent institution closely related to a
larger university: 19
An independent theological college: 30
The following tables detail the survey responses of
these three lecturer subgroups. (The abbreviations used?
D=department of a larger university; R=an independent
institution closely related to a larger university; I=an
independent theological college.)
