Daniel and Kevin:
The RPCNA also follows that idea with their seminary. They have 'pastors training pastors'. Of course, I am at Puritan Reformed Seminary which follows the Dutch model- and has a four office view. The professor of theology is the 'teacher' of 'pastors and teachers'. This was Calvin's view as well. We have one professor (GM Bilkes) who has been ordained as 'teacher'. Dr. Beeke is ordained as 'pastor' and has never officially been ordained as 'teacher'. We, of course, have Dr. David Murray from the Free Church (continuing) who is in a 3 office church.
Best of both worlds? Who knows.
Any thoughts on the history of seminary training? Books, articles, journals?
