If you do decide on SEBTS (I.e. if you follow the will of God ;) ) then let me know. I'd love to meet and show you around. There is an awesome coffee shop near campus.

That's what I was thinking... so they are very similar in size and degree options (undergrad through postgrad).

Not to detract too much from the OP, but what is the size difference between SEBTS & SBTS? The campus of SEBTS is pretty big. It is after all the former home of what is now called Wake Forrest University. And the incoming students this semester alone were right at 2,000. Is SBTS really...

I didn't think DTS did MDiv's

I second that... being a current sebts student at the moment myself. Southeastern is awesome. They have the faculty, facilities, and programs that are top notch. They are accredited w/ SACS & ATS. Their MDiv program is the most popular there (as usual). That's what I would recomend coming...

I think the question is worded poorly. While they happen at the same time (chronological term), one must cause the other to be an effect (logical terms). So it should be put, "What is the cause and what is the effect in regards to faith and regeneration?" In my opinion, the logical (not...

SEBTS had its biggest enrollment this year. And the vast majority were MDiv students. I dont think it is in any danger.

Siberian & Shaun, I didn't mean to make this negative. I'm sorry. When it comes to the DMin route, I'm completely oblivious. It has never seemed like a route one should go, but I mainly attribute that perspective to the fact that I don't understand many DMin programs. Please forgive my...

I guess I'm still confused. I've always felt like the more I preach the more I improve. Is it your delivery you want to improve? If so, have you thought about an MA in speech or something like that? If it is sermon prep and exegesis, then woulnd't a PhD serve you better? I don't know many...

Great answer... thanks!!!

I hope you don't mind me asking, but what is the purpose behind the DMin? What do you expect to accomplish with it? I am going to assume it is not so you can be called Dr. Shaun. Though I don't know you, I will give you that benefit right away. I am just curious what a DMin is going to do...

I think a word of caution is in order w/ anyone wanting to join a church w/ a different doctrine that the church does not espouse. I have seen (in my limited experience) people who do this try to prosaletyze their doctrine onto the church. Much strife is the result. I wouldn't mind allowing...

What degree are you talking about - DMin or PhD (or other)??? That would make a difference. From my experience, most schools take a case by case basis w/ different accreditation. I'm in a ThM program at SEBTS w/out the right accreditation. Also, do you care about denomination affiliations...

It is, but that's not what I am talking about. From a linguistic point of view, a "natural" reading is not what we would think of it. When authors would play on words (even loan words), we have a hard time grasping that in English and have a difficult time putting that in hermeneutical...

I would have whole-heartedly agreed with that statement a while ago. That is, until I started studying Hebrew. The mere fact that ancient Hebrew literature was written and reads so very differently than the way we read and write, it is hard to make a 1 to 1 correspondance except on a cursory...

If that is not a stupid statement then I don't know what is. They don't call it historical-grammatical interpretation for nothing!!! While the truths of God found within His Word are transcendent, the meaning of the text is time-bound. A text cannot mean what it never meant. And gaining the...

Very good post!!! For a good source, Harold Hoehner's commentary on Ephesians (the best commentary in the world by the way) did a great job defending Pauline authoriship. Thanks to the continued Tubingen school of thought and liberal scholarship, we are still talking about Baur and his...

What in the article would you like to debate?

I enjoyed the article, though at times it seemed to cover much more than just Al Mohler.

That's not exactly true. I went to Piedmont Baptist College & Grad School (TRACS accredited) and am now enrolled at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. My wife also went to PBC for el. ed. and she is teaching 5th grade in a public school. This was done through the dual enrollment that...
