RTS and the Current State of Theological Education

Some of you may have seen this important article over at The Gospel Coalition about the decline and relocation of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (TEDS) by Collin Hansen, who is a graduate of the school. Reformed Theological Seminary has been friends with TEDS for many years. Over the years, a number of our faculty have done their studies there before coming to RTS, and a number of our graduates have gone on to do doctoral work there.

The Lord's Day Evening September 24, 2006 Ephesians 6:4“God's New Family: An Exposition of Ephesians (LV) God's Household Rules: Marriage and Family (10): The Nurture and Admonition of the Lord” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. Please be seated. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to the Book of Ephesians again, chapter six, as we continue through this section on household rules. Last week we were looking at Ephesians 6:1-3, a section in which the Apostle Paul gives God's commands to Christian children, and we said that Christian children, in order to live out the gospel in the home, in order to live out their personal embrace of the lordship of Christ, must obey their parents for three reasons…three motivations Paul gives them: Because…

Ligon Duncan III I invite you to turn with me to Acts 16. We’re going to look at four verses by way of elaborating on the biblical truth contained in the second question of membership.

Ligon Duncan III Amen. Please be seated. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn again to Ephesians…now chapter six, but still part of the section that we started back in Ephesians 5:22 One comment is probably going to be useful for you as you consider especially the content of Ephesians 6:5-9, which deals with the slave/master relationship – that this whole section from Ephesians 5:22 to 6:9 pertains to life in the household. It might be tempting to view the issue of husbands and wives, and children and parents as matters of the household, and then to come…
