New York, where he abandoned historic Christianity; he

When I set off to divinity school so many years ago,
I knew nothing about seminaries. I found myself in one
where about half the professors were orthodox, and the
other half, neo-orthodox. That’s another way of saying
that about half them believed the Bible and the other
half didn’t. I heard the Bible attacked by these unbelievers
in ways that were incredibly traumatic to a young theologian-to-be.
My faith was shaken during that first year
because I had a number of unbelievers for professors.
Providentially, those who were believers helped me keep
my head above water. In order to spare others from a
similar experience, I eventually founded Knox
Theological Seminary, so that the Bible would be taught
as the inerrant word of God that it is.
My friend R. C. Sproul, the pastor, author, speaker,
and head of Ligonier Ministries in Orlando, recalls a day
when he was in seminary. One of his unbelieving professors
asked in class, “How can you possibly believe in the
atonement of Christ in this day and age?” Sproul
thought to himself, “How can you possibly deny the
atonement of Christ and be teaching in this Christian
school?” 57
More than a decade ago, on the day after Easter, the
perceptive syndicated columnist, Don Feder, who is an
Orthodox Jew, wrote about Harvard Divinity School.
