Yes, I would like to know the reasons why he would take the route he did. It certainly is quicker, easier, and cheaper. I have no idea what his motives where. I think in conjunction with the last three it also didn't require a reevaluation of what he has taught for 30 + years. Now which one was the motive I don't know. But it is fair and not at all ungracious to point out that the "theologian" of the Oneness movement really didn't take the time to earn the education one would expect from someone in his position. He has the brains, he has the finances, so...why?

We also don't really know what education he got. He has an MA from that school, which in the information may have required a study program. We know that school does offer classes and we don't know if DKB took some. Further we know he says he studied at a seminary here, but we don't know how involved that was,

In short we don't know what his education is. To most of us here "earn an education" means sitting in a class room gaining the knowledge you can otherwise gain by reading books and or taking online classes

There clearly is a way to get a masters from there by writing a thesis only.

You are right we don't know...

I wouldn't compare reading a book the same as taking classes on the graduate level. you might be able to gain some information but it is not the same as interacting with teachers and peers like you do in a class setting online or in person.

I agree, though I do know it is possible to interact with teachers and peers without actually being enrolled in a full time masters degree program
