Tim, am I to assume the only schools you would have Northern\American Baptists attend are:
  • Newton Theological
  • Colgate Theological Seminary
  • Rochester Theological Seminary
  • Crozer Theological Seminary
  • University of Chicago Divinity School
  • Northern Baptist Theological Seminary
  • Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary
I suggest you take a look at In Pursuit of Purity. On pages 175-180, you'll read how Fundamentalists look at these schools.

To save some time and space below is the academic background of the founders of Maranatha Baptist Bible College and Seminary, now Maranatha Baptist University, from 1977-1979, MBBC Catalog:

  • B. Myron Cedarholm, B.A, B.D., Th.M. D.D Litt.D., L.H.D. Iowa State College, University of Minnesota, Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Princeton Theological Seminary, Northwestern Schools, Baptist Bible College [Denver], Bob Jones University
  • M. James Hollowood, B.A., Th.B., D.D., University of the City of New York, National Bible Institute, Eastern Baptist College, Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Central Baptist Seminary
  • Richard C. Weeks, B.A., B.D. M.A. D.D. Wheaton College, Albion College, Northern Baptist Theological Seminary, University of Chicago [Residence work completed for Th.D.] Pillsbury College
I'm sorry. But I am really not understanding this post in light of the discussion.

The good Squire is pointing out that the denominational schools of the ABC-USA are frowned upon by the much more conservative faction of Baptist fundamentalism, and attendance is not necessarily limited to active participants in that denomination. In other words it is possible to get an education from a school you do not entirely agree with.

He then points out that Baptist fundamentalism does not take an academic back seat to any group or movement today as evidenced by the CV of the men listed who founded and taught at Squire's alma mater.

In the same vein, my professors in Seminary were:

R. V. Clearwaters: Th.B and B.D. Northern Baptist Theological Seminary, Chicago. B.A. Kalamazoo College, Kalamazoo, Michigan. University of Chicago Divinity School M.A. in New Testament Greek, (studied under E.J. Goodspeed) and was a just a few hours short of a Ph.D. when he was forced by financial concerns to discontinue his studies.

Warren Van Hetlo, Calvin College and Seminary, Grand Rapids Baptist Seminary, the University of Michigan, Th.D. Dallas Seminary

George Dollar, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, Boston College. Ph.D., former Chairman, Department of Church History, Dallas Theological Seminary.

C. Daniel Kim, B.A., University of Young-Nam, South Korea, M.Div. General Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Seoul, South Korea, Th.M., Biblical Seminary, Seoul, South Korea, Th.D., Dallas Theological Seminary

Gordon Lovic, B.A., M.A., Bob Jones University; M.Div., Th.M., Central Baptist Theological Seminary; Th.D., Grace Theological Seminary, Winona Lake, Indiana.. Studies at American Institute of Holy Land Studies in Israel and the Jerusalem Center for Biblical Studies in Israel.

Rolland D. McCune, Bachelor of Arts, Taylor University, Fort Wayne Indiana, Bachelor of Divinity, Master of Theology, and Doctor of Theology, Grace Theological Seminary, Winona Lake, Indiana.

Contemporary fundamentalism has more than its share of academic heavyweights. :)

I feel like we are conflating this thread with the other thread in regards to the fundamentalism discussion.
