The purpose of this paper is to explore some aspects of information theory as they apply to theological education, more specifically, the academic portion of the training of the future leadership of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The paper will be divided into two sections, as illustrated by an anecdote shared by Robert Darnton. "One of my colleagues is a quiet, diminutive lady, who might call up the notion of Marion the Librarian. When she meets people at parties and identifies herself, they sometimes say condescendingly, 'A librarian, how nice. Tell me, what is it like to be a librarian?' She replies, 'Essentially, it is all about money and power.'" (http://www.nybooks.com/articles/22281). It is my contention that "information" and the role it plays in theological education is indeed about "money and power."
