Wouldn't recommend Covenant for anything.
and the professor of philosophy, Meek, wrote a HORRID book on epistemology that I must force myself to go through.

it died down and then got picked up in the poll thread on immages (6 pages). I think we just have to agree to disagree... at this point.

As a graduate of Covenant Theological Seminary, I give it mixed reviews. One, it isn't the den [of] vipers that many a person paint, especially in the South Carolina area.
...I "desanctified" during my time there... There is no emphasis on mortifying the flesh. The constant, "Oh, you don't want to be a legalist do you", which means, watch movies, drink beer, smoke cigarettes, chew tobacco, don't talk about "quiet times", devotion, holiness, etc., but just say "grace" a lot and you have your shibboleth.
I can't exactly put my finger on why, but this description makes me a bit nervous, and seems to smack of revivalistic pietism in some sort of way. Of course our religion is something we experience and not simply reflect upon -- Vos makes the point that to have a faith in abstract reality is to be Hellenistic, not Hebrew, in your understanding of knowledge. I just wonder if the method (and that word, of course, brings a lot of pietistic thoughts to mind) focuses on holiness as such an IMMEDIATE end that it might eschew the ONLY means to that end, namely, the objective fact of the gospel.Several seminaries in North America today teach Reformed doctrine, but few such institutions have a deep respect for Reformed, experiential preaching. By experiential preaching, we mean Christ-centered preaching which stresses that, for salvation, sinners must have a personal, experiential, Spirit-worked knowledge of Christ (John 17:3, 1 Cor. 1:30), and, by extension, of all the great truths of Scripture (2 Tim. 3:14-17). Thus we stress, as the Puritans did, that the Holy Spirit causes the objective truths about Christ and His work to be experienced in the heart of sinners.
Originally posted by openairboy I did learn quite a bit while I was there, and enjoyed St Louis. If you have a family, I couldn't recommend a better school and city.

I would love to live in St. Louis---that way I'd be sure to have Lutheran friends to pub with.

Regardless of whether you KNOW Lutherans in St. Louis who like to pub, I'm sure they're ubiquitous.
"Excuse me sir, are you Lutheran?"
"Yes"
"Shall we?"

First, can you elaborate on your South Carolina comment?

It is not friendly to the revisionistic, name-calling objectivists who seek to make baptism a converting ordinance and the lack of egregious sin the sign of a Christian.

Fred-
Thanks for your comments. Could you restate this so I can understand it?

Andrew,
You could not be more wrong. This is not pietism. It is Biblical Christianity.
