I would qualify them as thoroughly evangelical and proudly SBC. In other words, they work w/ other denominations. Even SEBTS new theology journal made this point in its inaugural issue that they got various writers of the international evangelical persuasion that were not SBC to make a clear...

Which could simply mean that they are not fundie dispies, and they don't mind working with multiple denominations to achieve gospel goals. I prefer the term broadly evangelical. "Liberalism" is not really the issue here.

But this is not a liberal vs. conservative thing. To shut out voices (and they were not liberal in the real sense of the term, they were broadly evangelical) is at the heart of fundamentalism.

Couple of Questions: 1) Are you sure it is "as you go"??? 2) Are you sure "as you go" is THE command in the GC?

I know that school also had some problems w/ faculty and the "new" perspective of Paul a few years back. All schools go through this though.

I don't want to question your motives. But I would question your strategy. Is this really effective??? When the apostles were preaching in the streets, they had an attentive crowd and sometimes debate ensued. I can't say that the brief bit I watched that I saw such a situation. BTW... it...

Yeah, I don't think you understood at all what I was saying. I am thinking of the biblical theological storyline of Scripture (redemptive history) with the theme of God's tabernacling/templing presence seen throughout the pages of Scripture. Jesus' literal return to the earth would be rightly...

Question: Have you ever thought about considering the word in a redemptive-historical sense or biblical theological development of temple presence and divine space? I think the nature of what happens makes sense when we understand the flow of revelation and the development of the temple. This...

If that is your desire (and that is a very noble one that I greatly appreciate), then their program might be right up your alley. It seems a bit shorter than most despite the number of credits they require. There is really only 8 major/minor seminars (4 credits each) along w/ a 16 credit...

Another question: do you have the research capabilities (access to a good library and research language skills such as German, French, Spanish ((NT)), or Latin ((NT or History)) ((at least 2))) along with the discipline to do a dissertation based PhD??? Yet another: what kind of college were...

I think DMin in academia doesn't fit. If that is your goal, I'd avoid it altogether. I know many DMin profs, and I was never impressed. Plus, it is a ministry degree not a research degree. Sounds more like you want to just be called "Dr." something. As to your question, SATS I feel has a...

So where do you find Biblical support for a "senior Elder"??? Me... my view is in my siggie. See below.

Lemme ask this, what area of their PhD program are you wanting to study under? For example, I didn't see much in the NT department, at least not by way of faculty. Then look at their faculty and see how they stack up. Is there inbreeding going on (just check... oh yeah, most of their faculty...

Think it is associated w/ the Tennessee branch of the SBC. So it is SBC but not 1 of the 6 funded by the convention.

Excellent post!!! Wish the OPer read it.

Not the one I'm serving in while in Honduras. It is an international, interdenominational church... (but I am also a member of an SBC church in the states)

Just to answer the question of the thread title... I am one!!! And I will admit, age was a big part of ministry difficulties. How do you lead w/ confidence yet express humility due to a lack of experience??? Either you look like a hot head know it all or a timid push over. I am glad that I...

Only if the person is insane!!! If we draw a distinction, and I believe we should, between elders as the leadership and deacons as servants freeing up the elders to do what is more important for their ministry, then it would appear counterproductive to be both. Having said that, even...

So I have been prompted to check out New City Catechisms put out by Tim Keller in association with the Gospel Coaltion (and Baptist; in case some were freaking out). I really like the idea for both church and family Bible study. And it seems like good stuff. Here is their intro that seemed...

OK... i see what you are saying. But if that primary perpetrator was from the church in the news report, then I don't see what mahaney and others have to do with it unless somehow they were involved and had knowledge but failed to act. No matter what, I hate to see an organization face this...
