There is often greater scholarly integrity outside of Christian circles. They admit that as they read, they waited for the really bad stuff, but never found it. You have had considerable experience in academia. That is a sad question. All things being equal, I would not encourage anyone to attend seminary right now.
Most seminaries are either very poor academically or theologically unhelpful.
It would be a dreadful waste of three years and a lot of money - not to be taught the Reformed faith in an adequate way. In the smaller schools, there are problems with deficiencies in scholarship or theological prejudices, and that has not been characteristic of our Reformed fathers or Reformed education. Having said that, I realize and acknowledge that there are better and worse schools. The Southern California Study Center was founded because of these concerns. We felt the need to offer, in a convenient way, a competent Reformed education.
