Sandro Polenta had the great idea of posting a collection rule for Dallas Theological Seminary alumni authors (and I proposed adding current/former faculty to it as well) over on another thread.
I thought it would be good to start a new thread for such collections for as many of the major seminaries as we have advocates for on these forums.
I'll get us started with one for Regent College, a trans-denominational graduate school of Christian studies in Vancouver, BC, Canada. This rule includes current and past faculty, summer school sessional lecturers, alumni authors that I can think of, and some Regent authors whose books have not yet been published in Logos but might be someday.

Here is one for Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas City, Missouri USA
This rule contains current and former faculty as well as notable alumni. 20 books resulted in my library (More from Vyrso than Logos)

Update 1: Added 2 more former faculty & 1 alumnus
This rule contains only current faculty of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, I included both those who have titles in Logos, and those who do not because titles outside logos frequently become titles inside Logos :). I've not included past professors because at some point in the not so distant past we made a clean break from who we were and became a conservative school once more; because of this a full list of former profs would be less than helpful nor is the full list readily available. As far as notable Alums, I'm sure there are plenty, I just don't pay attention to that.

abondservant:This rule contains only current faculty of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary,
Thank you. Shouldn't "McDill, Wayne" have been included?
abondservant:I've not included past professors because at some point in the not so distant past we made a clean break from who we were and became a conservative school once more
I do remember those "bad old days" very well. However, I did manage to make it through 2 semesters (75-76).

abondservant:Isn't vanhoozer at Knox, and waltke at RTS?
Vanhoozer is listed in the "Friends of Regent" section on the regentaudio.com website, which means he has likely taught a class or two and is on the roughly same wavelength theologically as Regent. I'm including all such folks, even if they aren't on the faculty.
Waltke was on the faculty of Regent for many years and is emeritus now, but still teaches a class from time to time, usually every other summer. For a while he divided his time between Regent (summers and one semester) and Reformed Theological Seminary (the rest of the year). Then RTS forced him to resign because of his position on the early chapters of Genesis (open to the possibility of an old earth) and Knox snapped him up for those months of the year. While he was fully on the faculty of Regent, I took several classes with him and and was his TA for one semester.

abondservant:I don't see McDill, is he currently a prof? If not currently, was he one of the good ones?
His website (http://waynemcdill.net) says that he is "Senior Professor of Preaching" at SEBTS. Don't know him personally, but he came in with the conservative revolution. He has a pair of books available from Logos—Search mcdill, wayne. His son Michael and I served Churches close together in the 80s. Michael kept me informed concerning the progress of the changes taking place at SEBTS.

Rosie, what does it mean to be on the "same wavelength theologically as Regent," given that Regent is transdenominational and has Baptists, Anglicans, Presbyterians, Anabaptists, and Pentecostals? Can we speak of a distinct Regent theology in the same way you can speak of DTS's dispensational theology, or SBTS's Baptist theology, or is Regent's theology simply broadly evangelical?

Regent College's theology is broadly evangelical, and the theological atmosphere is one of charity towards differing viewpoints. That latter is not something commonly found at more narrow denominational schools.
That said, there are some certain things that tend to characterize the outlook at Regent:
John Stackhouse put this last and most significant aspect of Regent very well in this lecture at about 13:59ff: "Regent College is a place where people tend to flee from hostile intellectual and spiritual environments; we have people who are running away from fundamentalism; we have people who are running away from extremely intense religious cultures, whether Catholic or Mennonites or Christian Reformed or otherwise; we have people who are fleeing liberal Christianity; we have people who are fleeing the wide open deserts of secularism; and they come to a very congenial place, where any question pretty much can be asked; we don't require our students to be Christians, we just require our professors to be; and we as faculty don't feel obliged to agree with each other about everything; we do agree on the standard evangelical basis of faith that the college adheres to, but beyond that we disagree in a fairly lively and open way about lots of other things."
That's the general idea I meant by Regent's theological wavelength.
Rosie Perera: That's the general idea I meant by Regent's theological wavelength.
I should also point out that Regent College (in Vancouver) is not to be confused with Regent University, Pat Robertson's institution in Virginia. It's a common mistake people make. Regent College's theology is about as far from Regent University's as you can get. Regent College had the name first, so it's the other school's fault for the confusion.
Also, there's a Regent's University (formerly Regent's College) in the UK, which is completely unrelated to both of the above. And Regent College (in Canada) has no 's on its name.
Indeed - they were from the canadian institution. "Trinity" college brings up about 200 different schools. Its a common name and causes confusion. Further SEBTS (southeastern) is confusing for people that live in florida as there is a pentecostal school of the same name. I always have to say "Southeastern, no no not the one in Lakeland" when I describe where I go. For my undergraduate program I have to describe the school as the one Billy Graham attended (before they changed names).
abondservant:We didn't have any catholics though (or SDA, and very few pentecostals).
We had no Catholics or Orthodox on the faculty either, though some have come to teach at summer school (Bradley Nassif, an Antiochian Orthodox Christian, for example, co-taught a class with J.I. Packer on Orthodox-Evangelical relations). No SDA that I know of. Plenty of Pentecostals (Gordon Fee, Rikk Watts, Sven Soderlund on the main faculty, and probably others in summer school).
One of the cool things about Regent College is that it offers all kinds of interesting courses outside the mainstream of what you might consider seminary courses. Sure, it's got all the basics covered too: biblical studies, church history, systematic theology, languages, pastoral theology, etc. But then right there in the catalog alongside those, you also see courses like "Technology, Wilderness, and Creation," a course that takes place over a week long journey on an open rowing/sailing boat in the Gulf Islands; and "Reading the Bible with the Damned," a course that looks at Scripture through the lens of those on the margins who often feel rejected by the Church -- prisoners, poor migrant farm workers, and the like. And those are just regular-term courses. The Summer School brochure is filled with even more such interesting courses like "Food: Communion, Community, and Creation." Incidentally, Regent has created a 4-part condensed video version of the Food Course for use with small groups, a promo and sample of which can be seen here: http://www.regentaudio.com/products/food-forethought. I've taken that course and it had one of the most profound impacts of any course ever on me and how I live my life. From what I've seen so far of the 2-hour version of it, it does a wonderful job of capturing the essence of the course.

Trinity College of Florida - founded by the Christian and Missionary Alliance, officially non-denominational.Burk Parsons (editor of Table Talk @ Ligonier Ministries) class of 99Billy Graham graduated class of 1940 when they were the Florida Bible Institute.
