WCU professor to lecture as Theologian-in-Residence

  • Thursday, February 3, 2022 1:30 PM
  • Biblical Studies

Dr. Bennie Crockett will present a series of lectures in February during Tusculum University’s annual Theologian-in-Residence event. Dr. Crockett is vice president for institutional effectiveness and planning, and professor of religion and philosophy, at William Carey University.

The series will include four Friday sessions on Feb. 4, Feb. 11, Feb. 18, and Feb. 25. All lectures are free and begin at 9 a.m. CST.

The first three sessions will be held virtually via Zoom. Tusculum plans to hold the final session in person at its main Tennessee campus – but that could change depending on the state of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tusculum’s president, Dr. Scott Hummel, is an alumnus and former executive vice president, provost, and professor of religion at William Carey University.

“I have known Dr. Crockett for decades and have witnessed his excellent scholarship and extensive knowledge of the Bible. He is an authority on these subjects, and his insights and dialogue with the audience will prove to be beneficial to everyone. I am thrilled he has agreed to serve as our speaker,” Hummel said.

The theme for this year’s Theologian-in-Residence is “Translation Opens a Window – Key Developments in English Bible History.”

The topics of Dr. Crockett’s lectures will be:

  • Selected English Bible Texts During the Age of Manuscripts, ca. 700-1500
  • Dominant English Bibles in Print, 1525-1782
  • Older Greek and Hebrew Manuscripts and Scientific Text Analysis: Changes in the English Bible, 1800-present
  • New Methods of Translation and the Abundance of English Bibles, 1900-2022
Attendees must register by emailing Nicole Rader, Tusculum’s director of alumni engagement and special events, at nrader@tusculum.edu. Rader will provide registrants with Zoom links for the virtual sessions and the facility location for the in-person session.
