Surviving the Winter Season

by David Nelson
Dean of Academics

Our 3rd quarter began as scheduled on Monday, 21 July.  The students look forward to studying under a variety of lecturers as well as a variety of subjects.  Making his first trip to New Zealand and accompanied by his wife, Dorothy, Dr. Tom Olbricht, distinguished Christian scholar (retired and living in Maine, USA) is teaching Wisdom Literature & Psalms.  Our Pauline Literature 1: Galatians and Thessalonians subject is being co-taught by John Holland (Oklahoma, USA) and Stuart Penhall (Gosford, Australia).  Doing so well what he passionately enjoys, Mike Austin (Tauranga, New Zealand) is teaching Homiletics 2.

Coming up later in this quarter, Dr. Tommy Gore (Texas, USA) will be back for the fifth time to teach Old Testament Theology.  Herman Alexander (Texas, USA) will be back to teach two subjects: Post-Exile – New Testament Backgrounds and Pauline Literature 5: Pastoral Epistles. 

As you can see we are blessed to have many visiting lecturers.  These lecturers come to us bringing not only their knowledge of the subjects but their experience and skills.  Our students are greatly blessed to sit at the feet of these wonderful teachers and preachers of the Word.
