513.0. "Degree in Theology" by KIRKTN::GILLESPIES () Thu Jun 30 1994 10:41

    Hi,
    
    Up to now I have been a read-only member of this conference, but I am
    looking for some advice.
    
    I am considering doing a distance learning degree in Theology, which is
    available from The Open Theological College.
    
    The course is a mixture of modules available from various christian
    colleges throughout the UK, including London Bible College, Oak Hill
    College and Spurgeon's College.
    
    Over all it takes between 6 and 9 years to complete.
    
    Has anyone done this or a similar course, and completed it ?
    
    If so was it a benifit to your daily walk ?
    
    Also is there any other courses avaialable in the UK ?
    
    Bye

Thanks Stuart.  Sorry I don't know anything about the course you mention, 
but it sounds very interesting, and I'd like to hear more too!

I think a lot of Theological colleges offer correspondence courses.  I know 
BTI (Glasgow) and Bryntirion (Wales) do.  I suppose the former would be 
almost local for you ;-)

Welcome, and we'll be looking forward to getting to know you!

					God bless

To save possible confusion for the majority of readers, I don't know if
you've cornered any other 'Glasgow's or even 'Bryntirion,  Wales's, but the
ones I referred to are in the UK.....

         Yes, there's bound be a Bryntirion tucked away somewhere in the 
         depths of the States - probably not with a Bible College tho'

    Hi,
    
    The Glasgow Bible College (previously called BTI) runs a Diploma in
    Theology which is equal to one year on the Degree course, but they have
    no follow on unless you can do part-time.

    Old Testament Prophecy
    Introduction to the NT
    The four Gospels
