Which Seminary would you pick?

I highly doubt that's the Central Seminary they're talking about. THAT seminary is ABC-USA and is lightyears away from being fundamentalist.

 

Central Baptist Theological Seminary in Minnesota. The school Dr. Clearwaters led. Correct?

 

FYI - CBTS-KC is where former SBTS prof Dr. Molly Marshall is now president. First female to be president of a baptist (I want to say any seminary, but that might be giving more credit then credit is due) seminary in USA.

Of the ones listed I went with Gordan. But if I were going to school today I would choose Truett Seminary in Waco, TX; Baylor University.

 

I would have included Reformed Theological Seminary in the list, though I voted for my alma mater, SBTS.

BTW, I have a good friend who teaches at Central (Minnesota), with whom I did PhD Church History seminars at Southern. He's a sharp guy and is well aware of scholarship outside of IFB circles while remaining fundamentalist himself.

I would go to southeastern because its the closest. I'd like to see SBC seminaries start offering some online DL programs and not just online courses. There a bit behind the times in this.

 

They may be ahead of their times too. I do not know of one online course that even comes close to in class experiences in seminary or university. The university I am at decided not to offer online courses for that very reason.

We have loads of foreign students coming from other countries to study and Americans will not even pay a much smaller price for an education in their own country! Who are we kidding! America is constantly falling behind other countries due to its laziness.

It is hard for me to believe that parents will call the university or department head and complain. But they do. They regularly complain about how the courses should be made easier to accomodate their lazy son or daughter.

</font>[/QUOTE]I agree wholeheartedly that the in-class experience is best, but I am thinking about the more mature student -- one who finds it difficult to leave job and family to pursue education. AND certainly one who's parents would not be involved in anyway in their education. My son is at Southwestern, but he is unencumbered by life's obligations at this point. I'm looking at seminary programs, but I'm not willing to leave my husband to go to a brick and mortar school.

I do think that online degree programs should be added to the mix. Other accredited seminaries have made this adjustment.

 

And embarrassingly so, I do know they difference between they're and there -- even though I didn't notice that error in time to edit it.

 

Are you expecting me to take that serious?

 

Yet another worshipper at the altar of the lies and half-truths of Pope Paige?!?

The BGCT and Truett Seminary both use the BF&M 1963. But somehow I think you knew that

 

I don't know about Pronto, but the basic most obvious difference is the BGCT follows the 1963 BF&M and the SBC follows the 2000 BF&M. I am sure the differences have been discussed here before. A search would probably give you a good idea about what folks think about the differences.

I'm sure the website is just giving a shorter version of the detailed statement that the prof's and admin have to agree to.

"Without error" where, in the translations we have now, the manuscripts, the originals? This topic alone could be pages and pages of reading on a website designed for the most part, to give basic information to interested students.

 

Louisiana Baptist University.

 

I think for many adults, whether in full time minstry or not, distance learning is the only possible way to get a seminary education.

Many schools see the value in distance education and are quickly getting onboard.

The trick is to find good schools that are not cost prohibitive. I found one Christian school that offers a D.Min. at a price of $655 per hour. You do the math.

Some have said unless the school is accredited by CHEA, that you shouldn't go.
