Hi power users:

There is a Zondervan's seminary in a box bundle in other platforms. It contains 4 resources:

  • Christian Beliefs by Wayne Grudem (edited by Elliott Grudem)
  • Journey into God’s Word by J. Scott Duvall and J. Daniel Hays
  • Introducing the Old Testament by Tremper Longman III
  • Introducing the New Testament by D. A. Carson and Douglas J. Moo (edited by Andrew David Naselli)

Given the varied experiences that power users have, I would like to know what would be your version of a Seminary in a box.

You can add resources, make a brand new list, or take some out and replace them, as you wish.

Just remember that the Portable Seminary book (not available in L8) deals with:

Surveys OT n NT                  missions

Systematic theology             ethics

Biblical langauages               Christian education

Church history                      other subjects

Also remember John Fallahee's important topics:

  1. Baptism 
  2. Biblical Counseling
  3. Calvinism vs. Arminianism (Sovereignity of God, Foreknowledge)
  4. Christ (God-Man)
  5. Elders/Deacons
  6. Eternal Security
  7. Extent of the Atonement
  8. Genesis (Young Earth, Old Earth, Evolution)
  9. Gifts (including the tongue)
  10. Gospel: What is the message and for who?
  11. Homosexuality
  12. Inerrancy of the Bible
  13. Lord’s Supper 
  14. Marriage, Divorce & Remarriage
  15. Rapture & Millennium
  16. Role of Repentance in Salvation
  17. Tithing/Giving
  18. True Christianity
  19. Unbelievers & Hell
  20. Women in Ministry
  21. KJV ONLY

Thanks ahead of time for sharing your mind on this.

I started a blog series on a "portable M.Div" a while back.  I finished blog posts on NT, OT, and Hermeneutics and this post has motivated me to finish what I started.  The idea was to provide recommended resources for pastors/missionaries/educated lay people who want to go further, but for whom seminary isn't a realistic option.  It was not designed with Logos solely in mind.  The recommendations are also clearly coming from an American Evangelical Protestant perspective (sorry MJ as well as the majority of Christians out there).  Beyond that, even though I try to focus on "core" Christianity, I am sure my own Wesleyan-Arminian tendencies to show up as well.

Background:  I have been a pastor, missionary (Bible translator), trained pastors in Uganda and Kenya, I have an M.Div

Thank you Paul for sharing the link.

If you can, check the following:

http://www.pctii.org/cyberj/cyberj7/wanak.pdf

From my perspective pay attention to points 2.2, 2.6 and the related annex.

I would like to see a Systematic theology that also has Practical Christian living principles, truths, etc. because is not only about Hearing and studying the word of God and systematize it, but to put it in practice to help in expanding the kingdom and develop christian development and stewardship.

You could also check:

https://www.gprocommission.org

They seem to be able to train leaders for less than 1000 usd.  I have not been able to find their curriculum.

Peace and grace.
