Back in my day, there was this prof ...

I met yesterday with a current DTS student and it was interesting to hear his perspective on things.

One of the topics of conversation was professors: the good, the bad, and the ugly.

I was suprised by the number of professors who had left since my days as a student (ThM '98), though there are still some around.

It got me to thinking about some of the great professors I had that he won't.

Who were some of your favorite professors, and why, from your days as a student?

I was (and still am) a big fan of Dr. Hannah. He's still there after 30+ years and I always encourage students to take at least one course with him. The Jonathan Edwards seminar I took where there were about 10 of us that met at his house over the summer was my favorite class at DTS. I also really enjoyed taking John Owen from him with two other brothers.

I was also a big fan of Steve Spencer, who has since gone to Wheaton. I really enjoyed his Sanctification class and his Calvin & Reformed Theology class. He was a sharp man and it was DTS' loss when he left.

Who were your favorite profs? Any great stories to tell about them?
