Finances can be a headache when you’re starting off at any educational institution. But, Southern Seminary has attempted to keep student costs as low as possible since it began in 1859.
Gifts from SBC churches and faithful individuals, given directly and through the Cooperative Program, provide the major funding for our operational budget. This enables us to fund a major portion of the academic cost for our Southern Baptist students, which allows us to invest in the future ministerial leadership of Southern Baptist churches.
Enrolling students pay a flat, per-hour course fee. Southern Baptist students pay one-half the amount of fees paid by non-Southern Baptist students.
The Financial Aid program was established to assist those with the most pressing financial needs. When preparing to enter seminary, students should determine their financial needs and the provisions for meeting them since scholarship awards are not capable of covering the total budget needs.

Any civilization requires a stable, rational, and consensual moral framework in order to survive. Western civilization has been built on a framework of Christian morality, with the so-called “Judeo-Christian ethic” providing the moral principles that support laws, ethical reasoning, and moral impulses.
I mentioned yesterday that I am in New Orleans this week to deliver a paper on homosexuality at the Evangelical Theological Society. Yesterday I came across an article that relates to the subject matter of that paper.
In all likelihood, most people would never even imagine a cartoon version of Genesis. Nevertheless, the cartoon version has arrived, and it is attracting no small amount of attention. The Book of Genesis Illustrated is by famed cartoonist R. Crumb. Famous among cartoonists for his work as far back as the 1960s, Crumb has always combined cartoons and a social/political agenda.
There are certain moments in life that you never forget—those indelible moments that fix themselves in memory, sometimes for happy reasons, and sometimes for not so happy reasons. I had such a moment in the latter category when I was in the 8th grade.
