From Amazon.com: "Christians should evaluate philosophy by biblical criteria. This will shed greater light on the developments in the history of philosophy and better prepare us for the intellectual challenges of our time. The fall of Adam brought intellectual as well as moral corruption on the human race, and the effects of the fall can be seen in the work of philosophers, most of whom try to understand the world autonomously through reasoning apart from God's revelation. Some philosophers have appealed to God's revelation, but their work has often been compromised with the wisdom of the world. Revelation should inform reason, and not the other way round. In the past, even Christian theology was corrupted by the movement toward intellectual autonomy, creating the tradition of liberalism, which has unhappily dominated academic theology down to the present day. But there is hope a new generation of Christian thinkers take God's Word seriously. Frame's unique new contribution augments that process."

Introduction to Grace Theological Seminary
Unlike most seminary and college relations, Grace Theological Seminary actually came before the college, being founded in 1937, and eventually sponsored the formation of Grace College in 1948. Unapologetically evangelical, Grace Seminary combines theological education in the premillennial, dispensationalist tradition.
Academic Life
Grace offers three degrees, each with specific concentrations available. The primary seminary degree, the MDiv, may be earned with concentrations in Exegetical Studies, Pastoral Studies, Pastoral Counseling, Intercultural Studies, and Chaplaincy. An MA degree is also available, with concentrations in Intercultural Studies or Local Church Ministry. For ministers and others involved in pastoral ministry, the DMin is offered with concentrations in either Intercultural Studies or Pastoral Studies. Finally, for those involved in professional missions, the DMiss (Doctor of Missiology) is offered in either English or Korean.
Student Life
Throughout the school year, the seminary sponsors many activities and events to foster student fellowship and involvement in the larger seminary community. During the Fall and Spring semester, regular chapel services provide students with opportunities for group worship and prayer. One day each semester, the seminary dismisses classes and the day is reserved for community worship and prayer. Also, students are required to belong to a mentoring group each semester they are enrolled, where students and faculty connect for group support, prayer, and encouragement.
In addition to the seminary community itself, students are part of the larger Grace College community, and as such enjoy access to all college amenities, including participation in music ensembles (such as Symphony of the Lakes), intramural sports, athletic events, an on-campus Art Gallery, and the Gordon Student Recreation Center, an impressive complex that offers numerous a fitness center complete with a wide range of cardio equipment, exercise machines, and free weights. Also available are several basketball courts, indoor track, volleyball courts, and batting cages. A wood-floor equipped aerobics room is also available.
Housing
While seminary students may elect to eat their meals on campus at the Alpha Dining Commons, there is no seminary-sponsored housing available from Grace. The seminary estimates that students may be able to rent apartments or houses in the area for $450 - $750 a month. If single students elect to share expenses with a roommate(s), the cost can be significantly less-expensive.
Financial Aid
The primary form of financial aid for Grace Seminary students is the Federal Student Loan program; however, there are supplemental forms of aid available from the seminary, including the Grace Theological Seminary Scholarship ($65/hr for Grace Brethren students; $50/hr for non-Grace Brethren students); FGBC Scholarship (for students prepared to serve a Fellowship of Grace Brethren Church after graduation); Church Matching Program ($500/student/academic year). There are also many opportunities to work in the area either part-time or, in some cases, full-time.
