“I will always be grateful
for the opportunity to
earn a Ph.D. from
Southern Seminary.
The academic rigors
were challenging and
demanding. But, at the
end of the day, this
degree proved not to
be a mere intellectual
exercise. The studies at
Southern Seminary
prepared me for both
life and ministry. Even
to this day, years later,
I experience the great
benefit of being a Ph.D
student and graduate
of Southern Seminary.”

 

Dr. Jason Meyer

Ph.D. New Testament, Southern Seminary;

Pastor for Preaching and Vision, Bethlehem Baptist Church

“I thank my God continually
for my doctoral
study because it
further fanned into
flame a passion to
handle the Scriptures
reverently and accurately.
The program
had a high level of
academic excellence,
but its professors are
churchman and they
do not practice any
academic gamesmanship.
They instilled in
us a commitment to
the church of the Lord
Jesus Christ. I would
not trade it for all of the
supposed prestige of
Ivy league or European
doctoral education.”
