| | | Classical latin or ecclesiastical latin?
Anticipating graduate work....reformation studies, particularly Scottish reformation.
Wheelock or Collin's?
What would be the better way to proceed?

Classical first. Although exposed to vocabulary and styles which might never be used in ecclesiastical Latin, it will provide a feel for the language which theological writers possessed even when they did not express it.

Agreed. Always study the larger set before the subset.
Same advice for Attic Greek over Koine.

You all have confirmed my thoughts.
Interesting that U. of Aberdeen only offers ecclesiastical but St. Andrew's Reformation Studies program requires classical.
With my preference being St Andrews...and your confirmations...I will plot my course.
Many thanks.
