The generosity of some scholars and institutions is amazing to me.New Testament greek scholar Bill Mounce is an example. He provides both a website with some of the most respected evangelical scholars teaching full-length courses, and a website with lots of help for those studying New Testament greek.
.
Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary takes Mounce's idea one step further: it has organized a curriculum of 10 courses that, once successfully completed, results in a certificate for the student. Again, the courses are absolutely free.
The Gordon-Conwell program, called, Dimensions of the Faith, features scholars such as Douglas Stuart (co-author with Gordon Fee of the book, How to Read the Bible for all its Worth, Zondervan).

Thank you, Jon, for the thoroughness of all of the links you've posted. My daughter and her husband want to attend Gordon-Conwell for their Masters. They're attending their last year at Southwestern Assembly of God University currently. I have provided the link I found on your web page to them. I have enjoyed the videos of Lenny LeBlanc on your web page, also. Lenny is a humble man. From time to time, we see him in the checkout line at Wal-Mart, or shopping at Lowes. He creates beautiful furniture, too. He will always take his time with you to talk. If you're ever in Florence, Alabama, come visit us at Faith Church, feel the love of Pastor Davis and the people, and be 'taken up' into His presence by our awesome leader of worship, Lenny.

It's my pleasure, Sue, to provide the links. I enjoy finding the sites --- and sharing them.
I think Gordon-Conwell is a great place. Douglas Stuart, Haddon Robinson, and Walter Kaiser are great scholars. Timothy Tennent is also a wonderful scholar and currently teaches there, too, but is moving on to become president of Asbury Theological Seminary.
As a bonus, when you attend Gordon-Conwell, you get to be near Christian Book Distributors in Peabody. I hear CBD has an annual sale that will empty the wallet of any avid book reader.
The picture you paint of Lenny is just the way I would imagine him to be --- authentic. Folks wanting to see examples of the furniture Sue references can do so at this site: www.lennyleblanc.com/FURNITURE.html
If I am ever in Florence, I will certainly stop at your church! Thanks for the invite (and the interest in the blog!)
Blessings,
Jon
