Just my
, but I think you guys might be talking past one another.
I am an Erskine grad (M.Div. 2004), and I have no problem saying the program is Reformed. The majority of the profs are either ARP or PCA, for instance. There are a couple PC(USA) folks, a (non-Reformed) Baptist (who is an excellent teacher otherwise) on faculty, but by-and-large you know who not to take for classes if you have a problem with this. I sat through certain classes (e.g., Systematic Theology, Ethics) in which there were non-Reformed students in class, and trust me there is MUCH complaining and griping. MUCH. As a personal anecdote, I knew I did not want to take a certain prof for NT; I signed up for a PCA prof teaching the class instead. There weren't as many folks in our class, because the non-Reformed students did not want to take the PCA guy (too Reformed for them -- particularly on women's issues -- and too hard for them).
But Ben is specifically talking about the chaplains D. Min. program. I cannot speak to that, except to say that I am not overly impressed with what I've read of the D.Min. program (the general program at least) at Erskine (the worship D.Min. program being a notable experienced). I can see why certain types might not gripe, as they would not be "forced" to take certain classes that would outside of their non-Reformed traditions. Plus, the profs in that program are not the same as in the M.Div. program.
If I were near the Charlotte area, I would be interested in the RTS program as well. However, this Ph.D. modular program at SBTS has now piqued my interest.
