Hello again,
I recently started the "seminary help?" thread and was helped very much by the advice given there. Now that we've narrowed down our focus, I have a few more questions - thank you in advance for the help!
My husband's goal is to teach at a Bible college in Africa. We've been told having a Master's degree would probably be enough. He is considering whether or not to continue his MDiv at Southern Baptist (Biblical and Theological Stds) or to switch to Westminster S CA and take their MA (Historical Theology) and/or MA (Biblical Stds) (he'd like to do both, depends on money). Since he's not preparing for ordination but for teaching, what would be your recommendation? Please feel free to comment on the degree programs specifically and the schools as they compare with each other. We're currently in a Bible Presbyterian denomination if that makes a difference.
One other note: my husband's learning disability makes language study *extremely* difficult for him so a lighter load of biblical languages would be helpful - he would like to be familiar with Hebrew and Greek but only enough to assist his teaching, not to write his thesis in it.
Thanks again!
Katherine
