| | | Apologetic Career Path I'm intrested in becoming a professor of apologetics at a University some day and am curious about some opinions on the best path to do so. I'm wanting to attend WTS in Dallas in about a year, but wonder if this is the best thing to do. I also don't want to waste any time in my education, in other words, I don't want to get through 2 years of seminary and then find out I should have done something else to reach my goals. Any help on the best path?

| | | Well, i'm not sure on the exact approach, but you should consider philosophy for graduate work. Depending on what you did for undergraduate study, you might go for a masters in philosophy (and then doctorate) or just doctorate.

| | | I am going to be the unspiritual materialist for the moment: get a degree that will provide you with a workable income. Then move in on your "apologetics stuff."
I can't say which seminaries offer the best apologetics route. I can tell you a few that don't, but offline. Off the top of my head I would say RTS *Orlando.*

| | | Why would you say that about RTS Orlando, if you don't mind me asking?

My next credential will most likely be a professional degree in lawa Juris Doctorate.
