Dead Sea Scrolls Lecture by Renowned Bible Scholars and Translators

Several churches and organizations are presenting lectures in conjunction with the “Dead Sea Scrolls” exhibit at the Science Museum, but I would like to draw your attention to one of them.

This Thursday evening, April 8, Dr. Ronald Youngblood and Dr. Dan Gurtner are giving a lecture at the Benson Great Hall at Bethel University at 7:00 p.m. No reservations are required. 

• Dr. Youngblood is emeritus professor of Old Testament and Hebrew at Bethel Seminary San Diego. Last year he celebrated his 50-year teaching career that began at Dropsie College for Hebrew and Cognate Learning (Philadelphia), where he earned a Ph.D. in Assyriology. Youngblood, an ordained minister, has made more than 10 trips to the Middle East during the last 46 years, and is one of the translators and editors of the New International Version of the Bible. He also has served as author or editor of more than 20 books.
• Dr. Gurtner is associate professor of New Testament at Bethel Seminary. His teachings focus on the Gospels and their Old Testament and Jewish background, and he is the author of five books pertaining to the Gospels and Second Temple Judaism. He holds a Ph.D. in New Testament from the University of St. Andrews (Scotland), and has been teaching at Bethel Seminary since 2005. Gurtner is an ordained minister in Converge Worldwide (Baptist General Conference).
