Ryan BurnsTomorrow is July 1st and summer is in full swing. Now, summer means different things for each of us so I thought it would be fun to see what everyone has planned. I’ve put a few items in the poll already, but feel free to add your own answer...
If you’ve ever searched for a seminary scholarship then you know how difficult it can be. Well, good news, there is now a seminary scholarship that is open to all seminarians and only takes 15 minutes to apply. The $1,000 scholarship is given...
A little over a year ago we launched RefTagger. Since launching, RefTagger has been installed on thousands of sites and helped bloggers and site owners engage readers with the text of the Bible. The other day we began talking about how cool it would...
Seminary is expensive. As a seminarian myself, I’ve spent thousands of dollars on tuition, books, and the many other expenses of seminary. During my journey I’ve always been on the lookout for scholarships and creative ways to finance my studies...
I’ve been wanting to update the site for a while now and have finally found the time to do it. The new design is live (RSS readers come check it out) and I’ll likely be tweaking it here and there over the next week. One of the coolest...
This is a guest post submitted by Brian Johnson. Brian is currently working on his M.Div. at Asbury Theological Seminary in Orlando, FL, where he also serves as admissions recruiter. “How will I pay for this?” This question is on the...

I got an email last night from Rob Schumaker. He wanted me to let everyone know that his Schumaker Foundation is giving away a $1,000 scholarship for Divinity students. Check out his site for detials. Deadline to apply is March 9, 2009.
Dr. Kistemaker is my favorite professor. Maybe it is because it was in his class that I, for the first time, finally understood the letter to the Hebrews. Maybe it is because he retired 12 years ago, but still teaches almost every semester! Or...
Since I apparently have too much time on my hands (uh, yeah right) I decided to create a fun little online quiz to help people see if they have what it takes to survive seminary. Go take the Seminary Survival Quiz and be sure to post your badge on...
For the past several months I have been “winging” it with our finances. This was somewhat intentional since we’ve been in a crazy transitional period and tracking everything was just too complicated at the time. Rather than...
Today’s post is by Josh Bleeker. Josh is the Director of Admissions at Dallas Theological Seminary. Really, only two questions? More questions will certainly arise. However, two key questions will provide the quickest and most important...
Bible Study Magazine has a really helpful Canon chart that helps you see the difference in Bibles available today. A very helpful resource.
This post was contributed by Michael Farrell. Michael is the Associate Librarian at Reformed Theological Seminary-Orlando Campus. As a librarian in a seminary, I’ve noticed that in general students can be divided into two different types...
Logos is going to Macworld and we wanted to invite you to come along—in fact, we’re even giving away tickets to the expo! If you’d like a free ticket to the expo, we have a couple ways you can win. Post a note on your blog with a link to...
First, please let me introduce myself. My name is Jason Chamberlain and I am in my third year of working toward a MDiv at Shepherd’s Theological Seminary in Cary, NC. I have been reading GTS for months now and consider it an honor to be able...
For all you Twitter users out there, we wanted to let you know that Logos is now on Twitter. As a self diagnosed Twitteraholic (shameless plug) I’m pretty excited to see the Logos Twitter page up and running. I’ve been using Twitter for...
I admit… I got a D- in Systematic Theology III. Now, I can rattle off my list of excuses, but I think I shall spare you the details as the humiliation is probably good for building my character. The truth of the matter is that I am really...
GTS – Just the basics (Name, age, family, work, seminary, etc): Andy – Andy Coticchio, age 52, married, no children. Retired from business as a financial executive, attending seminary since May 2008. Born in NYC but loving in Dallas...
I’m going to have to give a HT to Phil Gons on today’s thrifty tip. Not only is Phil an amazingly smart guy (currently finishing up his PhD thesertation – yeah, I made that word up) but he’s also a really thrifty guy (just...
I have a problem. I think I’m a pretty good husband. Well, I guess it isn’t such a problem that I think that, but rather, the problem is how I came to that conclusion. See, the world is full of crummy husbands. There are guys out there...
Well, for the most part everyone is finished up with the semester. While a few of you might be putting the last touches on a paper or two, the rest of the seminary world is settling in for the holiday break. Which leads to the question, “What...

We’re starting a new feature this week. Every Saturday (er, well I guess today is Friday) none the less, the plan is that every Saturday we’ll introduce you to a seminary student. Now, sure we’re all (well, most of us) seminary...
Being married in seminary can be difficult. Making sure you don’t kill your marriage on the alter of academics is a balancing act we will all walk. Add children and a job and your complexity level just went through the roof. To make sure that...
For some of you, you’ve already wrapped up the semester. For the rest of you, finals are right around the corner. As a follow up to yesterday’s post on trusting God in the big and small, how stressed do you get around finals time? Also...
Last week I wrote a post about my Logos epiphany; that moment when I realized I can have my entire theological library with me all the time. Over the week many users posted comments about the time when they had that same realization. Reading the...
