Free Seminary Resources

A conservative American institution, Covenant Theological Seminary is one of the seminaries associated with the Presbyterian Church of America. They have recently made many of their courses available on MP3 with accompanying handouts and outlines. These are courses taught at an accredited seminary, available for free (thanks in part, I think, to the generosity of the Maclellan Foundation of Chattanooga). The traditional route to seminary education is not relevant or possible for most pastors in America, let alone the rest of the world. Given this state of affars, this is precisely the sort of access hundreds of thousands of pastors, church planters, and teachers need. Plans appear to be in the works to translate this material into various languages. See www.covenantseminary.edu/worldwide for courses offered.

I wonder what role, if any, blogs might play in this process of educating the world?
