Pros & Cons

Pros

The portable seminary is a theological overview of what you would study, trying to earn a college degree in biblical studies. I highly recommend this to all christians, especially those in ministry, who don't have the time or finances to attend a bibl...  Read More

It is frequently apparent to this reader that 20 centuries later this same circumstance persists. The book's perspective is 'evangelical' (in the best sense) it should be a mainstay in every reverends' library!

It presents a lot of information in a very clear and precise manner. The author's approach and context is very informative.

As a tool, this book couldn't have been written better!

The book has lots of information, but the depth and helpfulness of that material will vary depending on the chapter and area of study. Most of the material in this book is what my students should know and be able to articulate by the time they begin t...  Read More



Cons

The bibliography isn't horrible, but it isn't as useful as it could have been. I think that it does give a sense of the bredth of topics engaged with at seminary, but hopefully the real seminary experience fills in the major potholes missing here.

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Full of useful information – this book is not a portable seminary


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    No reader should take it off the shelf and expect to cover the topics to the depth that a typical seminary education would provide


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The author is strongly supportive of inerrancy but he clearly states this doctrine must not be used to distinguish between authentic christians and apostasy


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Definitions are given for many of the most important terms but few examples are given


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    For example a clear distinction is made between exegesis and eisegesis – but no examples are given of either


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    In fact no single example from beginning to end of exegesis is given


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Similarly no complete example of writing a sermon from idea to finished sermon outline or text is given


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Four chapters on practical theology homiletics leadership ethics and christian education it is not clear who has officially contributed to each chapter versus allowing the quoted material to be included
