Biographies are very important. Prime real estate in the curriculum should go to Charles Finney's "Holy Spirit Revivals," Trevor Yaxley's "William & Catherine" [The Life and Legacy of the Booths, Founders of the Salvation Army], the lives of Adoniram Judson, George Mueller, etc. (Philippians 3:17). These strengthen the soul because they are not mere history but testimonies, and "the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." . . .
. . . Study the Bible rather than theological systems, which are once-removed. God's power is in His Word, not in man-made constructions superimposed on it. Verse-by-verse is most helpful. All the rest will fall into place nicely.
. . . Allot enough time for a reading assignment to encourage the student to praise and pray his way through the book. The act of storing knowledge without immediate responsive worship is toxic to the soul. There is no subtler snare than intellectual pride.
. . . Invite speakers from outside your camp. You'll be surprised how much of the Bible you missed. Close the seminary down for a week and have everyone listen to Beth Moore's "Believing God."
. . . If you find yourself reading more theology books than Bible, quit seminary immediately.
There's a lot more. . .
Me: When I read Seu's views, I was at first sympathetic. I still am to a large extent. I agree with the need to make Bible study central, and it's true that a "devotional approach" is commonly lacking at many (most?) seminaries, but on the other hand, it would be a disservice to exclude serious theological study and even comparative religion. The mind must be expanded as well as the heart. Critical thinking must proceed hand-in-hand with compassion, humility, and prayer. I suspect Seu would agree with my comments.
