March 4th, 2010
A seminary, theological college, or divinity college is a specialized and often live-in advanced education establishment for the aim of teaching pupils in philosophy, theology, spirituality and the sacred life, commonly in order to prepare them to become members of the Church. Pupils in a seminary particularly of the Roman Catholic Church are called Seminarists.The word “Systematic Theology” comes from the Latin word seminarium “seed bed”, the neuter form of seminarius “of or linked to seed”, applied as a noun. This word is proper because a seminary is where the seeds of divine life are planted. The origin of this word is semen “seed”, which comes from the same earlier Proto-Indo-European source that give us English sow and seed.Other organized religions and cultures as well have religious schools similar to Western Theology seminaries. The Islamic and Jewish equivalents to a Western seminary are called Madrasa and Yeshivah, respectively.
