O'GodHowGreatThouArt
Puritan Board Sophomore
Hello guys.
The Lord has called for me to attend Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. The Master of Divinity will be a Biblical And Theological Studies and the PhD will more than likely be in Biblical Studies. He has given this to me early because He wants me to thoroughly prepare for it in so many sectors, so I will attempt to outline the major ones below. There are more, but I figured that ones such as the "Get A Job" sector requires no explanation or questioning.
I. School
I am currently pursuing a Associates of Mathematics (Gainesville State College) as well as a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics (will be completed at Georgia Gwinnett College). What courses can I take to prepare for Seminary as thoroughly as possible, especially concerning languages? To make it simple and avoid confusion, assume that I have not taken any classes that can prepare me for seminary in college. I will say though that I do not have access to Hebrew or Greek at these colleges.
I'm sticking to Mathematics as my major because I need a strong GPA and it is my strongest subject from a secular standpoint.
II. Personal Reading
I'm preparing for the in-depth reading required by reading through the top 100 novels of all time. However, in regards to Bible preparation, what should I read to do this, and how should I handle the reading of the Bible itself? I'm going through the Bible the second time this year, and I have to admit that going down the same road time and time again is beginning to wear on me.
III. Spiritual Preparation
The objective is self explanatory, but my question is to how to go about it.
If you guys need me to clarify anything, please let me know.
