Harvard, because at least their law school is conservative
I would say Harvard simply because I believe their methods of education are second to none. Liberal, yes, but they do educate well. Plus, your roots would go back to the Puritans days of the 17th century. Quite a legacy, despite the many flaws the school has today...
I'd prefer Princeton because it does not have a divinity school.
He studied at Evangelical-Theological Faculty, Zagreb (B.A), Fuller Theological Seminary (M.A) in Pasadena, California, and University of Tübingen (Dr. Theol., Dr. Theol. habil.), where he studied under Jürgen Moltmann.
His book Exclusion and Embrace, was selected as among the 100 best religious books of the 20th Century by Christianity Today.
Volf is formerly a professor at Fuller Theological Seminary.

What about princeton seminary?
Objective opinion:
Harvard has a better Classics department, including Kathleen Coleman (author of the hugely influential "Fatal Charades"), and Glen Bowersock ("Julian the Apostate"), who recently retired but I heard still teaches.
Both Harvard and Yale have some "token" Christian faculty. Miroslav and Judith Volf at Yale Divinity School and Francois Bovon at H.D.S. may not be theologically conservative by our standards, but have at least stated they believe in the Good News. H.D.S. also has Reformed church historian George Marsden teaching there this year (he just retired from Notre Dame).
Subjective experience:
I took an H.D.S. class this Fall, and while it was with a non-Christian prof, it was very good and the Christian students were treated respectfully by both prof and T.A. I am not a Harvard student though, just taking a class there while in theGordon-Conwell Th.M.
Thanks for this info! I'm petitioning to cross-register now for his Puritanism and Colonial New England class.

How exciting, Evie. What a rare opportunity! I pray you get into the class.
Just making sure you know it's there.I'd prefer Princeton because it does not have a divinity school.
What about princeton seminary?
Princeton Theological Seminary is an entirely separate entity from the University, founded in 1812 in cooperation with the University (then the College of New Jersey), but not as a divinity school of the University. The Seminary did not have its own president until 1902. The campus is physically located between the main University campus and the University graduate school. Students of each have use of the libraries of both institutions and may take courses at both. However, they are two distinct institutions. PTS continues to be a seminary of the PCUSA. The University, though historically connected with Presbyterianism, is an independent institution. Both institutions grant PhD's.

Anytime! Let us all know how the class turns out. I'd love to take another, but I've used up my two allowed BTI courses in Fall (my program's only one year long).
Best wishes, DG
