2012 Kistemaker Academic Lecture Series - Orlando Campus
Date: 03/20/2012Time: 12:00 pm Named in honor of Dr. Simon J. Kistemaker, these annual lectures offer scholarly insight into diverse topics in Biblical and theological studies as well as practical theology. Given the recent discoveries of apocryphal books like the Gospel of Judas, and the critical writings of scholars like Bart Ehrman, there is a need for evangelicals to have clear and biblical thinking about the canon of the New Testament. The 2012 lecture series seeks to address contemporary issues in modern canonical studies and to show why Christians can have confidence that their New Testaments contain the right twenty-seven books.
