Hi! I am contemplating going back to seminary at some point and either getting a THM or PHD or both but have a few questions.
Is a THM basically just an intro to what will be expected for PHD? Do many people do a THM and then PHD or just jump from a MDiv to PHD? If so what is point of THM? A THM & PHD together seems like a lot of work.
Do many people just get a THM without going on to PHD?
What is main difference between a THM thesis and PHD dissertation? How long is each typically?
Could one teach at a seminary or Bible College with just a THM or have to have a PHD. I really do not care about the degree or being referred to as Dr. The main thing is I want to have opportunity to teach and publish research. It is a shame that unless one has a PHD behind their name many will not take their teaching/research serious.
I went to Golden Gate Baptist Seminary for MDiv and thinking of Southern for THM or PHD. Does it look better to go to different schools for various degrees? I have heard some say go to a good conservative seminary for MDiv and then go to a secular university for THM or PHD.
Any thoughts or experiences in this area?
