Jesus Creed » Teaching Seminary, Teaching College

I’m on my way in five minutes to meet with two men who are planning to go to a Christian college and pursue ministry training.  After my 10 1/2 years of college and seminary education, I enjoyed reading Scot McKnight’s points of difference between college and seminary students.

One question and one difference seem to be apparent.  The difference seems to be “maturity.”  The question – do older college students (I mean those in their mid to upper 20s and higher)  display a more “seminary” mindset than the younger, fresh-out-of-high-school college students?  In other words, if the major difference simply mental and practical maturity?
