Seminary is difficult and, at first, it can be disorienting. Oftentimes students are thrown into the deep end of study, expected to write a research paper, analyze theological movements, read a massive amount of books, all while somehow maintaining sanity and sanctity in the midst of all this challenge. Add to this the problem so many students face in being exposed to new ideas, different approaches to Scripture, complex and thoughtful descriptions of God's nature and work. It can really mess a person up. This book was written as a guide and as encouragement for those who are new to seminary studies. It provides helpful hints for practical tasks like writing and research as well as moral and spiritual support for the personal challenges students face. Originally compiled for a Introduction to Theological Studies course at Fuller Theological Seminary.
