by Kevin T. Bauder
Seminaries are academic institutions. Consequently, they tend to celebrate academic attainment. Typically, the best students are thought to be the ones with the highest grade point averages. Since these students have written the best papers and scored highest on the exams, they are sometimes considered the best prepared for ministry.

1 Timothy 2:12
