I will be finishing my courses at my current seminary. If I did a thesis it would be related to baptist history and so I would be interested in taking some formal courses on the topic and having the use of a library more geared to the study of baptist history. Right now my personal library is far superior to my seminary's library when it comes to baptist historical studies which is quite sad. I looked at several of the seminaries on the BL.com list and most of them struck me as having really poor church history programs and their baptist history would be a single course for less than normal credit. I'd honestly love to go to a place like SBTS, SEBTS or SWBTS, but I can't in good conscience support the chauvinistic attitude toward higher education the SBC seminaries have. I intend to do PhD studies in the future but it will be in Philosophy or Theology, so this is more for personal academic interest in finishing out my Masters.
