    I've noticed a lot of threads on here that seem to believe that Trinity College of the Bible and Theological Seminary is of a lowly caliber and a degree mill. I would have to urgently disagree as someone who attended Calvary Chapel Bible College and transferred into trinity. I finished my BA and recently started my BA with them. And I can attest that the quality of education is very research-oriented and requires A LOT of writing and reading! Oh my goodness, it's been more challenging than my time at Calvary! Though I appreciated Calvary as well. Maybe I became a student during a transitional period in their school? Thoughts? Trinitysem.edu

    It should be challenging right?

    I require 6-700 pages of reading for each class, from 2-3 books, plus a 1 page paper on each book, plus an outline of something and a final!

    Copying and pasting this on many different websites, I see. That doesn't speak too well of the school. Grinding an axe more like.

    Well, I checked out the faculty page, and I guess we can't criticize the school since he who cannot be named is listed.

    In my experience, in the late 1990's Trinity's doctoral requirements were set at a very low bar.

    Baptistboard moderator Skandelon, aka Leighton Flowers.

    The faculty page even has the same picture that he used on his Baptistboard profile page.

    People have posted his youtube videos and critiqued the theology therein, and were told to ease up as he is a (absentee as far as I can see) member here.

    Skandelon is not currently an active Moderator. He last visited BB in December. I can't bring up the date of his last post.
    However, Dr. Flowers can be discussed by name. It's just that Skandelon can't be linked to him.
