Austin Hess’s Reviews > The End of Theological Education (Theological Education between the Times > Status Update

No greater farce may be found in any field of educational work than that which is involved in the teaching and study of the Heb. language in many theological seminaries. It may be suggested that to make Heb. an elective is to lower the standard of theological edu. Those who know the facts connected with the study of Heb. by theological students will not make this claim. (William Harper, University of Chicago, 1890)
