On Union Theological Seminary

Which has strong ties with Columbia University (I can see why some, especially Chinese, love to study here. Because they can put themselves as Columbia University graduate on their resume even though they studied at UTS. And in Chinese, everyone thought it's THE Columbia U.)

Nonetheless, UTS is well known to be liberal. John Sung saw it. And now,Dietrich Bonhoeffer:

"There is no theology here....they talk a blue streak without the slightest substantive foundation and with no evidence of any criteria. The students....are completely clueless with respect to what dogmatics is really about. They are unfamiliar with even the most basic questions. They become intoxicated with liberal and humanistic phrases, laugh at the fundamentalists, and yet basically are not even up to their level." - Metaxas, Eric: Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy 2010, Thomas Nelson Publishers, p. 101

This just makes me respect Bonhoeffer even more.
