For the past three years I have been enrolled at Ashland Theological Seminary pursuing my M.Div. degree. I only take one class at a time, so I have six more years to go before I finish. The contrast is often pronounced between my actual work experience as executive pastor at a contemporary church and my experience in the classroom. Currently I am taking a homiletics course, where I learn how to correctly prepare and deliver a sermon. The other day we were learning about resources that can assist the preacher. The entire talk was given on print resources. When our teacher finished, I raised my hand and asked about software resources. Personally, I'm an avid fan of Logos Bible Software. All the resources our teacher had just taught us to use are also available electronically in Logos; it's just much faster and more efficient to use the software. I can open twenty books to a topic in the time it takes me to look up and find one print reference. Our teacher told us that he personally did not use software and preferred "the feel of a book." I couldn't help but think I had time warped into the middle ages, which brings this video to mind.
