A. SEBTS M.DIV. MASTER STUDY GUIDE
Master Outline of all my Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary M.Div. Study Guides.
The reasons I made it:
(1) I wanted to be able to carry seminary with my in my pocket (on my iPhone as a document, etc).
(2) I wanted it as a reference for my Ph.D. work.
(3) I wanted to help fellow seminarians.
(4) I wanted to equip the church with a summarized version of what I got at seminary
