In one of my classes here at Biola, we used W.G.T. Shedd's Dogmatic Theology as a text. Also, it is noteworthy that the editor of Shedd's Dogmatic Theology is Dr. Alan Gomes - Chair of the Systematics Department of Talbot Seminary. All this to say, not all professors at Biola are anti-Calvinists, though the majority are not Calvinists. | I have Gomes edition of Shedd and appreciate it too. But, wouldn't it be fair to say that most of the apologetics top-guns at Biola are non-Calvinists or anti-Calvinists? |
Ya know, it's funny. I've taken a couple of classes in the M.A. Apologetics program (they overlap with the M.A. Science and Religion program). The professors that I have encountered in the M.A. Apologetics are Calvinists (or, at a minimum, sympathetic to Calvinism). So, I think there is a disconnect between the Apologetics program and Talbot, in general.
And to clarify: the M.A. Apologetics is not part of Talbot (which is where Craig and Moreland are). It is part of the School of Professional Studies, although there are professors who teach in both (such as Dr. Gomes).
