A seminary, theological college, or divinity school is an institution of higher education for educating students (seminarians) in philosophy, theology, spirituality and the religious life, sometimes at the postgraduate level, to prepare students for ordination as clergy or for other ministry. The English word is taken from the Latin seminarium, translated as seed-bed, the image from the Council of Trent document Cum Adulescentium Aetas which called for the first modern seminaries.[1][2] As such, in the West the term historically referred to Christian educational institutes, but has widened to include American Jewish institutions.

Since at least the 4th century there have been seminaries for the training of clergy.[citation needed] The first known group of seminarians was gathered by St. Basil of Ancyra. The term dropped out of general use in the Middle Ages, when most theological training was in monasteries, and later, in the universities.[citation needed]

The establishment of modern seminaries resulted from Roman Catholic reforms of the Counter-Reformation after the Council of Trent. Seminaries became live-in institutions under the direct control of senior clergy.[citation needed] This later led to the creation of minor seminaries to educate young boys for the priesthood at a time when literacy was not widespread. The Tridentine model of seminary was similar to that of a monastary.[citation needed] These seminaries stood in contrast to the freer intellectual atmosphere of the universities.[citation needed] The Tridentine seminaries placed great emphasis on personal discipline as well as the teaching of philosophy as a preparation for theology; an approach that was explicitly rejected by Protestant reformers such as John Calvin.[3]

The Tridentine model of seminaries has since been adopted and adapted by other Christian denominations as well as by modern American Judaism, though now in a more open fashion than the Tridentine model and often without the Catholic emphasis on the pre-requisite study of philosophy and the Catholic requirement to live on campus within the Christian community of the seminary.
