  • Great Intro to the Uniqueness of Beeson

    Beeson Divinity Schools occupies a wonderful spot in the theological world. Not only does it reach down deeply to the historic, orthodox faith, it does so with grace and a sincere, deliberate attempt to embrace a wide diversity of theological traditions. Beeson is committed to both grace and truth, and it’s tone is academic, thoughtful, and loving towards the Church. Highly recommended!

  • Btw the high church and evangelical mission

    I grew up in a conservative episcopal church, love the liturgical structure and sacraments of that church.

  • A treasure trove of lectures and discussions on theological issues

    Since I have discovered the Beeson Divinity Podcast, I can't let a week pass without tuning in. This is truly a treasure trove of articulate expositions, lectures and discussions of important theological and historical questions related to Christianity and biblical topics. Some of the guests are more lively than others of course, and some of the speakers are more gifted in delivering their message than others. (I am actually sitting in the middle of a lecture that I wish would have been delivere... more

From the Archive: Christian Faith at Work: A Conversation with Clark Watson
Q: What differences did he notice between practicing law in secular settings and serving at a Christian university?

From the Archive: Christian Faith at Work: A Conversation with Clark Watson
Q: How does a general counsel serve a university, and how does faith inform that role?
Watson explains that the role involves being the chief legal officer, managing contracts, overseeing outside counsel, and guiding decisions in a way that upholds the university's Christian mission while complying with the law.
From the Archives: Bible Publishing -- A Conversation with Frank Thielman
Q: What is the value of Beeson's language requirements for ministry and preaching?
Thielman notes that Beeson's Greek and Hebrew requirements prepare pastors to read Scripture in its original languages, slow down comprehension, and communicate more accurately in ministry.
From the Archives: Bible Publishing -- A Conversation with Frank Thielman
Q: Where does the ESV fit on the translation spectrum, and why does that matter?
The host asks about ESV's position on the spectrum; Thielman answers that the ESV is essentially literal, intended to translate words consistently while preserving theological nuance for study and worship.
From the Archives: Bible Publishing -- A Conversation with Frank Thielman
Q: Tell us how you became involved with the Translation Oversight Committee for the ESV.
Thielman explains his invitation to join the committee around 2010-2011, the discussion with Crossway, and his decision to contribute as part of Beeson's scholarly work on Scripture translation.
