One of my primary professors from seminary, Dr. Gerald Bray, will be the Scholar in Residence this Fall at Union University. He will be giving four lectures related to his forthcoming systematic theology, God Is Love. Dr. Bray is one of the brightest and most respected scholars in the evangelical world, and it was a true privilege for me to study under him and to serve as his research assistant during my seminary years.Here is the schedule for the four lectures he will be giving:
Tuesday, September 29 at 12:15 - God's Love for Himself
Thursday, October 1 at 12:15 - God's Love for His Creation
Friday, October 2 at 12:00 - The Rejection of God's Love
Monday, October 5 at 12:00 - God's Response to the Rejection of His Love
The lectures are all free, 40 minutes in length, and will be held in the Coburn Dining Room located in the Barefoot Student Union Building at Union University. For those in and around Jackson, TN, you will certainly want to take advantage of this opportunity to hear Dr. Bray.
