Andrew, great question! I should have stated this from the beginning.

My goal is to be as equipped as possible to to do any of the following in the future with excellence: 1) Pastor, 2) Teach, 3) Write (in no order). Maybe it's just one of these, maybe two, maybe all three.

Apropos #1, since I haven't as of yet discovered which denomination I am "in the tank for," I don't have a preference as to whether or not my professors are from this group or that group, or this confession or that confession or no confession. I would want them to be Calvinistic, but my primary concern is that they'd teach their subject matter really well.

Apropos #3, I'm wondering what an M.Div from RTS Orlando can do to prepare me in this regard. I understand that no seminary will be able to create talent where there are no intimations of talent to begin with, but compared to other seminaries, how effective would an M.Div from RTS Orlando be in preparing me for a career of theological writing?

Feel free to recommend other seminaries.
