Futato is a lot like Meredith Kline (taught with Kline at WSC for a while), with Kline's good points and not-so-good points. Overall, as a seminary, I cannot recommend it. RTS Jackson is much much more solid, as is Charlotte.
You cannot recommend Frame as a professor? Is it because of his views on the RPW?
It is because of many, many things. The RPW is one, his views on the confessions are another, his allowance of FV theology and NPP theology is another (he is probably not one himself, but he doesn't think that Shepherd is a problem), his multi-perspectivalism leaves much to be desired.
In one of the endnotes in Salvation Belongs to the Lord (which is an excellent book on the whole), Dr. Frame says that Norman Shepherd's views on justification are within the Reformed tradition - even though he claims to disagree with them.
