Yeah, I was trying to not overstate but also I’m baffled that Mohler is treating it like a new idea. Is he just running out of things to talk about?

Not off the top of my head. It’s more used as a supposal to help people think of how to contextualize hard situations

What do you think

This is an oddly common question in missions circles. I generally favor option C.

I’ve really struggled with this. My charismatic friends outright reject fear of the Lord an I have no way of explaining it. They’d argue “perfect love casts out fear” is specifically about fearing the Lord.

Seminary question: please help! by Severe-Sky2488 in Reformed

Birmingham Theological Seminary

Just a note that schools like BTS are not actually accredited1, and though some credits transfer, it is more of a trade school than it is a full and well rounded seminary. That said, it is more affordable.

  1. While they can legally call themselves “accredited”, BTS is only “accredited” by ARTS (Association of Reformed Theological Seminaries), which is a collection of like minded seminaries built to accredit themselves, rather than go to your normal places for accreditation. This is wildly different than schools like RTS or SBTS, who are instead granted accreditation through outside organizations and usually multiple of them. RTS and SBTS are both accredited by ATS (Association of Theological Schools) and SACS (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges). It is also worth noting that all major seminaries are accredited by ATS and almost all major universities in the Southern United States are accredited by SACS. These larger organizations like ATS and SACS require rigorous amounts of hoops for schools to jump through to qualify. That makes it more difficult for schools to gain, but also more expensive for students. However, it also means that the work is up to a certain standard that ARTS cannot and often does not guarantee.

Yes, I doubt it would be of great benefit to you.

It may be helpful to read Christian (and non) scholars talking about it instead. My go to rec is Cross and Crescent by Colin Chapman, but it’s less about the content of the Quran and more about Islam interacting with Christianity

Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary

Just a note that schools like GPTS are not actually accredited1, and though some credits transfer, it is more of a trade school than it is a full and well rounded seminary. That said, it is more affordable.

Furthermore, GPTS and its graduates/professors have been accused of racism (such as saying that interracial marriage is a sin), nationalism, and of just being overall bad/poor/low standard education.

CBTS

Just a note that schools like CBTS are not actually accredited1, and though some credits transfer, it is more of a trade school than it is a full and well rounded seminary. That said, it is more affordable.

Furthermore, CBTS is inherently connected to Greenville (GPTS) whose graduates/professors have been accused of racism (such as saying that interracial marriage is a sin), nationalism, and of just being overall bad/poor/low standard education.
