| | | I am Beginning Th.M Studies at PRTS
This both a praise and a prayer request. I am beginning and have enrolled at Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary. I am starting out with a distance learning class and hope to take a modular class at the end of September. While I had hoped to do F-T work at PRTS in Grand Rapids, as Sven can testify jobs are not easy to come by in West Michigan so I am doing it now by distance learning and modular. The people at PRTS have been exceedingly gracious and helpful and they are to be commended and praised.

Congratulations. The workload will be tough but the rewards will be great. Will you be able to complete the whole program by distance learning or do you have to move to the campus eventually?

Ben, glad to hear you are a student from a distance. I'll be praying for you. Are you going to attend the Calvin for the 21st Cent. Conference? I'll be there.
John, half of the classes have to be taken on campus, but they're only week long modular classes.

John, half of the classes have to be taken on campus, but they're only week long modular classes. | I am going to attempt to but it all depends on if I can find work.

Ben, as you know I do not think that this is the best "career move" possible. However I do pray that you will grow & learn more about our faith.

As far as a thesis goes my interest right now lies in Puritan New England, specifically John Cotton and Thomas Hooker. We'll see where that leads. -----Added 7/17/2009 at 06:20:02 EST----- Quote:

I saw someone recently state that the Th.M. degree was a "higher" degree than the D.Min.
Anyone care to argue either side of that contention?
Anyone care to take this question to its own thread?
