What I Learned at Union Theological Seminary

By David R. Graham

I learned five things at the Union Theological Seminary, one from each of five professors. They are:

From James Sanders I learned the essential message of the Prophets ... that the Giver, not the gift, is desirable.
From Samuel Terrien I learned that the Solomonic Cult was a Sun Cult.
From Professor Martin I learned that the Fourth Gospel is written deliberately in two realms which proceed simultaneously, one being obvious and the other one being ... well ... recondite.
From Cyril Richardson I learned that Christianity became the religion of the Roman Empire because Christians were of superior morality.
From Paul Lehmann I learned that John Calvin was a non-dualist.

Each of these things I learned at Union has been determinative of my career and I hereby express my humble and profound thanks to the professors who taught them me.

Self-serving is self-destructive.
