Hi Phil,

I'm enjoying your blog. For background, I'm starting my MDiv studies with Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria, VA this fall. It is my hope to focus my studies, as much as is possible, on biblical studies. I am on a path to ordination as an Episcopal priest. So, my primary vocation is as a servant of the Church in particular the local diocese and parish, not as an academician per se. Nonetheless, there is a dire, dire need for greater biblical literacy in all parts of the Church and I do feel called to serve in that way.

So, for someone not interested in a "typical" academic route toward biblical studies, what suggestions do you have?

Many thanks,
Shawn

I'm afraid that question's a bit to vague for me. Could you clarify it?
