snubbed again - nobody ever takes me seriously on this one! Just because it involves a small move.....

we have had quite a few people cross large bodies of water to study there....

so sorry erin, how's this:

Moore Theological College - sounds promising. I'll be sure and add it to my list of possibilities.

OK - so I'm not the one looking, but at least I'm not snubbing you any longer

Actually, I did look it up - looks like a terrific program.

That it is. It's had a few growing pains in the last few years -basically more students than it could cope with... yet it did cope more or less, and is learning to adapt to the continued increase.... a good problem though. Our year was the largest ever through, and pretty much each year that has followed has done the same.

Jon -

I'm just happy to hear that you are going to seminary! You belong behind the pulpit brother (take that as confirmation - not flattery).

Okay - head over to the Desiring God ministries web sight (John Pipers sight) and he has a pretty comprehensive list of good seminaries that he has endorsed - many in the U.S. too.

Hey Dave,

Thanks so much for your encouragement, brother. I really, sincerely appreciate it. I certainly do take that as a confirmation, especially coming from a godly man like you.

Thanks for the resources from Piper. I checked out his list and found pretty much all of the schools that I had been considered, so it helps to know I'm on the right track. I think Gordon-Conwell, Covenant, and RTS are appealing the most to me at this point. Doubtless, that could change in the future, but it does help to have a rough idea of where I want to go. It will allow me to structure my undergrad program around their admissions criteria.

Hey, by the way, Happy Birthday!

Soli Deo Gloria

How about Calvin Seminary (GR) and Western Theological Seminary (Holland)?

I don't think that you would go wrong with any of those three. As a GCTS grad, I would obviously plug that institution. It was an incredible learning experience for me. Scott Hafemann is back as Prof of NT. Reformed Baptist he is, and a great scholar. GCTS is going to be more broad education than either RTS or Covenant as it is multidenominational. Jerram Barrs at the Schaeffer Institute at Covenant is a friend and a scholar as well....I almost went to Covenant, but decided at the last minute to head to GCTS and it was the right decision for me. I am least familiar with RTS, but do know many men who have been through there and they are all solid.

Blessings!

Your personal testimony on this point played no small part in that consideration.
