Puritan Board Freshman
I would like to know talk with any student from the Puritan Reformed Biblical Seminary.
I am considering applying to M.Div. degree for next year.
I am a Brazilian Baptist church member since my childhood. The majority of theological schools here are completely immersed in the theological liberalism, as well as distant from historical baptist roots established on the 1689 London Confession of Faith. In addition, the cost at famous seminaries in the US is extremely expensive (same in online courses, which don't allow any kind of scholarship), whereas my church cannot support this robustness theological education.
Whereas I am considering pursuing a bi-vocational ministry, with a focus on preaching and teaching biblical studies keeping an apologetical approach (I am finishing my graduate studies in Physics from a Brazilian public university accredited by Federal government).
Considering that, several questions arise:
1) How is being this educational preparation, in this seminary?
2) Looking at the syllabus of the degrees, apparently, it is so much endeavor and a robustness program. In my case, I am not able to attend the presential class, as well as synchronous class. It appears very good to me, taking into account my other professional duties. How is the relationship with the mentor/advisor? The expected time limits are adequate to finish the courses?
3) Another option maybe The North American Reformed Seminary, however, I haven't any mentor available now. Would be better to apply there also?
