Tips for RTS Students: How Valuable Is a Theological Education?

How valuable is theological education?

19th century professor and pastor Samuel Miller writes:

“Nothing can be plainer than that ignorance, or small and indigested knowledge is, next to the want of piety, one of the most serious defects in a candidate for the sacred office. . . . No Church, therefore, which neglects the proper education of her ministers, can be considered as faithful, either to her own most vital interests, or to the honour of her divine Head and Lord.”
