Dallas Theological Seminary vs Bob Jones U

If those were my only two choices, I would choose BJU. Their position on fundamentalism and practice of biblical separation is much closer to my personal convictions than DTS. I've actually considered enrolling in their program when I get the time/funds (more funds at the moment- I can make the time if I had that! ) .

I would also consider these schools:
Faith Baptist Theological Seminary, Ankeny, Iowa (a few old-school DTS grads on staff- good mix of young and old men, with a balanced perspective of education and ministry- I'm a little biased, though, since I got my undergrad from Faith)
Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary, Allen Park, Michigan
Central Baptist Theological Seminary, Plymouth (Minneapolis), Minnesota

If you were looking for a theologically conservative school without the fundamental baptist "hangups" (I noticed your profile says you're a Mo. Synod Lutheran), I'd also look at The Masters Seminary. I have also considered going there at points because of their nouthetic counseling
program. Westminster Theological Seminary has excellent programs in counseling as well.

 

From a Fundamentalist's viewpoint, one would probably chose BJU. I'm with Greg in that I would not be comfortable with DTS's lack of separation and their philosophy of Christian music. I also could not sign their Statement of Faith due to its, IMO, hyper-dispensationalism. (I do consider myself a dispensationalist, though).

If I were to recommend a school, I would be torn between Detroit and BJU.

Given the fact that you are Lutheran/MO Synod, I find it interesting that you would consider Dallas or (especially) BJU. I think that you would find Reformed or Westminster (both non-denominational but much more reformed in doctrine) closer to your theological leanings.

 

I could not go to either Bob Jones University or Dallas Theological Seminary.
Some great PAstors in various denominations have gone to Fuller Seminary.
