Download An Uncommon Union: Dallas Theological Seminary and American Evangelicalism AudioBook Free
Dallas Theological Seminary is often viewed as a bastion of conservative evangelicalism, marked by an unswerving devotion to theological positions of fundamentalism, biblical inerrancy, and dispensational premillennialism. An Uncommon Union, the first book-length history of Dallas Theological Seminary, compiled by a graduate and veteran faculty member of DTS, offers a necessary corrective to such a simplistic analysis. While using the tenures of the college’s five presidents as the backbone for his narrative, John D. Hannah discloses the tensions that DTS has experienced in its eighty-plus many years of presence. Each successive chief executive of DTS brought his own unique style and perceptions to the school, even as he handled the changing religious and cultural milieu that swirled around it. Hannah argues that, somewhat than being a monolithic establishment, Dallas Theological Seminary is a distinctive mixture of differing heritages and of opposing customs, a place that defies easy categorization. A keenly insightful and thoughtful work, An Uncommon Union illuminates the path charted by the leaders of a visible North american seminary in a quickly changing world. All readers interested in the history and future of evangelicalism, regardless of their theological persuasion, will benefit from this book.
