Hello to all. I might have an opportunity to spend a great deal of time in Europe for the coming decade and I was wondering about starting a doctorate (DMin preferably). I ran across this program: http://www.spurgeons.ac.uk/Home/TheCourses/DMinDoctorofMinistry/tabid/133/Default.aspx
Anyone have thoughts about this school and/or this particular program. (P.S. I'm not seeking a discussion on the virtues of the DMin in general or a DMin vs. PhD rehash.)
Thanks!

If you are going to be in Europe for a while, why not do a PhD or ThD there? When you come home your stock will be worth a great deal more if ever you wanted to teach in the university or seminary.
I think the DMin is a good degree but the PhD, done on the continent, will be worth the time and money difference.

He recently retired, but do a Google search on Ian Randall to get an idea of the quality of their professors.
Spurgeon's has just hired a young man, Josh Searle. Josh is brilliant and I believe he will do great work during his career. His dad, Roy, is one of the leaders in the Northumbria Community.

Spurgeon's is top-notch! You couldn't go wrong with a degree from there.

Thanks for the feedback. I am more interested in the program now.

An excellent proficiency in statistics is very important in doing research. A good number of classes would be about six classes in statistics.
