Swagato, feel free to crash anytime! I look forward to seeing you in Chicago. And Postbib, you have the distinct honor of getting to study alongside of a good friend of mine, thumbnail72. He'll be a good conversation partner, drinking buddy, and friend.

So, who else is going to be at the University of Chicago next year? New PhD admits? Current MA or PhD students? Help a poor Dukie find his way in Niebuhrland!

Hi ms114, I just graduated with an MTS from Duke div, and I think it's a great program. I'm not an NT guy, but I know that Hays is good, and Kavin Rowe, though young, is brilliant. Two things to keep in mind: 1) Duke is more open to admitting people from conservative backgrounds than any other school of that caliber. I know of a couple people from Biola/Talbot that are here at the moment. Being dominated by post-liberalism, we tend to be get along well with people on both sides. 2) At Duke, biblical studies is more theological than at most other schools. You would be encouraged to discuss the tradition of interpretation and the implications for religious practice in addition to the standard text and form critical aspects.
