I think I am the only one on the PB. Patrick Severson and Andrew Barnes are recent grads.
I graduated in 2006. I have fond memories of my time there. It is an excellent school.

I am in my second year, although I am on the four year track. I am also taking the Biblical Exegesis emphasis and am very excited about it. Miles is the best teacher I have ever had.

We were in Jackson at the beginning of the month for a visit and Miles told me he was going on sabbatical next fall. Has he said who is replacing him for that semester? What do you like about Miles, care to elaborate? I have heard very good things about him and I enjoyed visiting with him when we were there a few weeks ago.

I am also a recent grad. You are in Mecca, my friend. Enjoy it.
Tom,
I really have nothing bad to say about any faculty here. I have only had Dan Timmer for two classes, thats two days, he is doing the last half of Biblical Theology the Miles started in september. Bruce Baugus is another new prof that is just fascinating to listen to. Dr. Medieros is great, you will never fall asleep in his class, you will see what I mean the first time you sit in his class. Guy Waters is soooo knowledgeable about Greek it isn't funny. Ligon Duncan, what more needs saying. I have been fortunate to have had Dr. Duncan for two classes since Derek Thomas is on sabbatical this semester Ligon is teaching Systematics I. Have not had Dr. Thomas or Dr. Ireland yet so nothing to report there, although I will have the honor of taking classes with both next semester. Let's see, oh yeah, Dr. Hoffecker, I have him for History I right now and he is a great lecturer with just a wealth of knowledge on Church History.
Do you know where you are going to live yet? I live on campus in the apartments. Are you married? Any children?
I am married and we have a 13 yr. old son, how old is your oldest?

Glad to hear, Fred! I have seen some of your posts regarding RTS Jackson on the board and that you have a very positive opinion. Care to elaborate? Any advice for an incoming student? I am going to be taking the Biblical Exegesis emphasis with Miles and the Counseling emphasis. Looking forward to learning from Miles, Guy, Derek, Ligon, etc. Thanks!

Thanks, Fred! I appreciate your opinion. Miles gave me the same exact advice. Prioritize the language study and it makes everything else easier. Can I contact you privately for further questions?

Framework is a view of creation which does not hold to a literal 24hr/6day creation. His Biblical Theology can be a little 'over the top' if you ask me.
I share Andrew's reservations. Miles has some great insights and I thoroughly enjoyed his teaching. He was awesome in Greek and Hebrew. But I think he does over-emphasize the biblical theology. And his views on the structure of the Canon, though interesting and often helpful, need further peer review and study before I jump on the bandwagon completely.
Tom,
I may have a very experienced babysitter headed your way Fall 2010. My eldest (of six children), and my right hand, is possibly headed to Belhaven College. The Lord sure appears to be paving the way...
