Reformed Theological Seminary is pleased to announce that Dr. Gregory K. Beale will deliver the inaugural Hughes Lectures at RTS Jackson on February 22 – 23. Lunch will be served in the Student Center after lectures 1 and 3; registration is required for these lunches (see registration form below).
The Hughes Lecture Series was begun as part of the Hughes Initiative for Pastoral Excellence. The Hughes Initiative aims to identify candidates for Gospel ministry with evident Christian character and personal maturity, a clear calling to preaching and pastoral work, a record of service in the local church, and proven academic performance and potential in order to give them the best ministerial preparation for a lifetime of service to the Lord and his people. In Jackson, the Hughes Lectures serve that goal by bringing the most accomplished Bible-believing theologians and scholars of our day to address our students on topics that relate to biblical, systematic, and historical theology.
Rev. Dr. Gregory K. Beale is an esteemed author, theologian, and professor, whose works have made a great impact in the fields of Biblical Theology and Biblical Studies. He is also the first chair holder of the J. Gresham Machen chair of New Testament. Dr. Beale is a well-established author of over twenty publications, many of them focusing on his academic interests of the New Testament’s use of the Old Testament, the book of Revelation, the biblical-theological theme of the temple as the dwelling place of God, and the topic of inerrancy.
