Ryan BurnsI read an encouraging article today about how Dallas Theological Seminary is webcasting seminary classes into China WITH the government’s support. I was blown away by the news. Seriously… an evangelical, Christian, seminary given...
Ok, health insurance is a pain in the neck. It is expensive and if you’re not on a company plan it is even more expensive. So, what are you to do? Well, first thing is to try and land a job that actually provides health insurance. Trick with...
Ok, here is another list that might help. Here are some sites that might help you find a job while you’re in seminary (no particular order other than this is how they came to my mind): First, check with your seminary. Lots of them have job...
So, as part of this blog I’ll be chronicling my journey to and in seminary. So, to catch you up to speed we need to go back… way back… I’d say it was in middle school (about 18 years ago) that I first felt a...
The fact is that seminary is expensive. So, when trying to make the decision on going to seminary, it is important to spend some time crunching the numbers. Now, this isn’t the determining factor, but it is certainly one you must consider...
Congrats to Terry at Diary of a Seminary Student for being the first seminary blogger to make it on the goingtoseminary.com blogroll. All you seminary bloggers out there, share your wisdom and insight here on goingtoseminary.com and get some nice...
My apologies for being absent the past few days. As any seminarian will tell you, life is hectic. In preparation for our departure for seminary in January, I’ve been working full time at a start-up company in my town helping them with...
While tooling around the net looking for seminaries with online and distance education options I found a good bit of help from a post on the Asbury Theological Seminary web site. The elements you bring to online learning are vital to the learning...
So, I figure it would be good to work on a list of seminaries offering online and distance education degrees. Now, keep in mind that almost every school that offers a distance education will require, at least, some residential classes. This list...
Added a few new seminary scholarships for you this evening on the master list.
Now, some of you might read that and think, “that’s a stupid question.” And of the ones who think that, half of you think it is stupid for one reason and half think it is stupid for another. However, the fact is that whether the...
I was reading James this morning and thinking, in particular, about James 2:24. Then, this evening I was reading Live. Work. Play. and was reminded how this applies to seminary. Worth quoting here: I’m glad I am taking the time to go through...
So, I came across this chart today on Gospel Resurgence this afternoon and thought you’d get a kick out of it. As I read through it I actually laughed out loud as I thought of all the people this would help (mostly the people who talk too much...
Are you in seminary? Do you Blog? Are you reading this post? If yes, then you need to get your blog listed on the goingtoseminary.com Seminary Bloggers blogroll! Designed as resource for the readers of goingtoseminary.com, I want to collect a list...
While scouring the internet today for more information to help us all on our seminary journeys I stumbled across a great post on tHe Resurgence (not to be confused with theresurgence.com). The post, Advice for Seminary Students with Families (&...
Ok, before I was just a guy going to seminary I was just a virtual guy going to a virtual seminary. Yes, I was an online student. The journey for me began about 7 years ago when I was trying to determine if God was calling me to seminary. I’m...
In my never ending quest to provide information that will help you decide on the right seminary for you, I occasionally find other people who have weighed in on the subject. Today I came across an older post by Mark Denver at togetherforthegospel...
This post will help narrow your list by asking a very simply question that The Clash asked in 1981, “Should I stay or should I go?” Now, location is a big deal for some people. Are you willing to move across the country to go to seminary...
UPDATE: Here are the latest numbers from 2014-2015. The average tuition for a full time seminary student(14-15 school year) was $14,726. (Data Tables) ORIGINAL POST: According to a report from the Association of Theological...
Professor, pastor, and theologian, Dr. John Frame wrote a pamphlet called, “Learning at the feet of Jesus: A Case for Seminary Training.” This is a quick and easy read that will, hopefully, help you in your decision making process. Here...
So, one of the books that helped me the most in finally making the decision to attend seminary was Bruce K. Waltke’s book, Finding the Will of God: A Pagan Notion? In his book Waltke masterfully addresses an issue that is all too common in the...
Distance education has come a long way. Seven years ago I decided to try and earn my degree through one seminary’s distance program. It was pretty good, but I still have stacks and stacks of tapes and giant notebooks. The quality of teaching...
253 seminaries… that’s a bunch. So, how do you decide on which one to attend? Well, this is seminary, so prayer is always a good starting place. As you prayerfully submit your decision making process to the Lord, there are a couple...
So, I haven’t actually started seminary yet, so for me this is an area that I’m giving a lot of consideration. I really haven’t figured out how everyone in seminary pulls this one off. I mean, you need to work to pay the bills but...
Ok, if you’re going to seminary I am going to assume that you like to read. If you don’t… um, yeah, seminary is not going to be fun for you. So, here at goingtoseminary.com you’ll probably find lots of book recommendations...
Anyone else read those children’s bibles and find yourself going, “oh, that is so wrong.” If I’m reading one to my kids and I find bad theology, I’ll typically just change the story to be a bit more in line with the...
I discovered this one while starting to work on the scholarship list last night and figured it might be worth its own post. Apparently, UPS has a scholarship program for its employees (can you say $3000 a year). Not only that, but it is available to...
Ok… not everyone is a blogger. But if you are, did you know that there is actually lots of money to be made in blogging? Now, I know what you’re thinking… Writing my opinions about things and getting paid… SWEET! Well, if it...
Welcome. This page is, by far, the most visited page on GoingtoSeminary.com. Odds are that you are here because your googled “Seminary Scholarship” or some derivative thereof. If that is the case, first, welcome to GoingtoSeminary.com...
Going to seminary? You’ll need a computer. I’ve gotta say that we’re a mac family… so we’re taking the 20 inch iMac and the (old) 15 inch powerbook (512 mb). However, I’d really like to get the 19 inch MacBook Pro...
