Western Theology seminaries
A seminary college college, or divinity school is a specialised and oftentimes live-in advanced education establishment for the intention of instructing scholars in philosophy, theology, spiritualty and the divine life, usually in order to prepare them to become members of the religious clergy. Scholars in a theological college especially of the Roman Catholic Church are known as Seminarists.The word “theological college” comes from the Latin word seminarium “seed bed”, the neuter form of seminarius “of or linked to seed”, used as a noun. This name is appropriate since a seminary college is where the seeds of religious life are planted Seminary . The origin of this word is semen “seed”, which originates from the identical earlier Proto-Indo-European root that gave us the words sow and seed.Other religions and cultures likewise have divine schools analogous to Western Theology seminaries. The Islamic and Jewish equivalents to a Western theological college are called Madrasah and Yeshiva, respectively.
