This week I will be lecturing as a visiting professor in the Master of Theology (ThM) programme of Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary (PRTS) for students all over Africa. PRTS is a well-known Reformed seminary situated in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA.
I will be teaching 20 lectures on The History and Preservation of the Biblical Text, a course that examines the transmission and preservation of the text of the Old and New Testaments from the Masoretes and the Dead Sea Scrolls to modern translations. We will also study the history of the Reformed doctrine of Scripture. The course engages primary sources from the ancient world, the early church, the Reformation, and Reformed orthodoxy through modern scholarship.
This course aims to equip the next generation of pastors, theologians, and Christian leaders to handle the Word of God faithfully and with scholarly care.
I am grateful for this opportunity to contribute to international theological education and to serve within the wider Reformed academic community.
Pray with us that the Lord will bless these lectures, grant the students understanding and wisdom in their study of Scripture, and equip them to serve Christ and His church faithfully.
