Keeping Your Theological PhD from Standing for “Piled High and Deep”
A PhD is not something in this blogger’s future. If and when Westminster grants me my M.Div., I shall have the diploma woven into a security blanket and will carry it around with me to my grave. It shall truly, I’m sure, be my “terminal degree.”
However, since I know that most of my readers are smarter than me (because they are smart enough to be reading this blog! 
), I provide here a link to my friend Daniel “Don’t Call Me Dan!” Kirk’s excellent comment giving an insider’s view of what his seminary does (and does not) want to see in applications from PhDs applying for positions at his seminary. (Daniel is a professor of New Testament at Biblical Seminary in Hatfield, PA.)

I think Danny has some good advice (like I know). I knew Danny from college at UNC-Chapel Hill when everyone called him Danny or Danny Boy. Remember that Daniel? Don’t deny it.

FTR, sage, I can no longer be the world’s most intelligent teenager. I’m 20 now.

Joe, does that mean your age got older or intelligence went down?
