The Islamic and Jewish equivalents to a Christian seminary
A Online Seminary, theological college, or divinity school is a special and often live-in advanced teaching institution with the purpose of instructing pupils in philosophy, theology, spiritualty and the divine living, commonly in order to train them to become members of the clergy. Students in a seminary particularly of the Roman Catholic Church are called Seminarians.The term “seminary college” comes from Latin seminarium “seed bed”, the neuter form of seminarius “of or related to seed”, used as a noun. This word is proper because a seminary college is where the seeds of religious up-bringing are sown. The origin of this word is semen “seed”, which comes from the identical earlier Proto-Indo-European source that give us English sow and seed.Different religions and cultures also have spiritual schools similar to Christian Seminaries. The Islamic and Jewish equivalents to a Christian seminary are known as Madrasah and Yeshivah, respectively.
