A seminary, theological college, or theology school is a special and oftentimes live-in higher teaching establishment with the purpose of instructing students in thinking, divinity, spiritualism and the sacred living, usually in order to prepare them to become followers of the clergy. Students in a theological college specially of the Roman Catholic Church are known as Seminarists.
The word “seminary college” has its origin from the Latin word seminarium “seed bed”, the neuter of seminarius “of or associated to seed”, used as a noun. This term is proper since a seminary is where the seeds of religious up-bringing are sown. The root of this term is semen “online accredited degrees“, which originates from the same early Proto-Indo-European source that give us the words seed and sow.
Other organized religions and cultures also have divine schools analogous to Western Seminaries. The Islamic and Jewish equivalents to a Christian theological college are called Madrasa and Yeshiva, respectively.
