Seminary for Free?
Free courses:
Bill Mounce: Special features include abbreviated classes (in addition to the full-length offerings) and the ability to “customize” the lectures if you are leading a class.
Regent College, BC: Lectures can be enjoyed 24-hours a day. Regent standard bearers such as Packer, Fee and Eugene Peterson are joined by other well known evangelicals, like N.T. Wright.
Covenant Theological Seminary: MP3 lectures online, as well as, lecture transcripts and study guides in PDF format. Reformed emphasis.
Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary: 10-course core curriculum. Attractive and user-friendly website. Testing and resultant certificate are optional.
Courses for purchase:
Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary: 25 courses offered for $45 each. Gary Pratico, co-author of a Hebrew textbook, teaches a two-course Hebrew set.
Regent College, BC: In addition to Packer, Fee, and Peterson there is vintage material available --- including F. F. Bruce and Clark Pinnock. Some courses on DVD.
Westminster Theological Seminary: The full-length courses of note are from Moises Silva: New Testament Introduction and the Gospel of John.
Beeson Divinity School: Allen Ross’ 23-CD series on Hebrew exegesis for $96! Six other full-length courses by Ross, as well.
Founders Study Center: Packer is available at this site, too. Also, Roger Nicole, Timothy George, and--bonus--the late Martyn Lloyd-Jones on preaching.
Fuller Theological Seminary: A concentration of missions courses not available from the others in this list. Courses can be taken for credit or personal enrichment.
Institute for Theological Studies: 21 major seminaries can’t be wrong! They use ITS courses. So should you.
The Teaching Company: Mostly secular courses. The treasures here are the five courses on Christianity by Luke Timothy Johnson. DVD is available.
Wheaton Graduate School: Douglas Moo teaching Romans is desirable. Having to search the Wheaton website is not. Call 1-630-752-5119 and tell the bookstore you want to purchase the BITH 548 DL instructional CDs. The $37.50 cost probably makes it worth your time.
Asbury Online Institute: Only four courses available, and sorry, no Ben Witherington or Victor Hamilton offerings.
