Advice for Seminarians, Theology Students, and Young Pastors

Kevin DeYoung has been blogging his “Advice for Theological Students and Young Pastors” (points 1-20; points 21-45).

Bruce Ashford of Southeastern, blogging at Between the Times, reprints the following blog series:

1. On the Dangers of Seminary
2. The Danger of Losing Your First Love for God and Your Love for the Lost
3. The Danger of Allowing Seminary to Replace Church
4. The Danger of Becoming a Dork
5. The Danger of Seeking Academic Acclaim
6. The Danger of Becoming a Punk
7. On the Danger of Being THAT GUY
8. The Danger of Missing Out

And here are a few pieces I have appreciated in the past:

• Hermann Witsius, “On the Character of a True Theologian“
• B.B. Warfield, “The Religious Life of Theological Students“
• Helmut Thielicke, “A Little Exercise for Young Theologians“
• John Frame, “Learning at Jesus’ Feet: A Case for Seminary Training“
• John Frame, “Studying Theology as a Servant of Jesus“
• Andrew Cameron and Brian Rosner, eds., The Trials of Theology: Becoming a “Proven Worker” in a Dangerous Business
