On Mar. 15-16, 2010, NTS hosted Dr. Joel B. Green for the Earle Lectures on Biblical Literature - New Testament. Dr. Green is the Professor of New Testament Interpretation at Fuller Theological Seminary. For more biographical information, visit his Fuller faculty web page.

Dr. Green's first two lectures were entitled, Living Faithfully in Exile: Who Reads Scripture Well? and Neglecting Widows and Serving the Word? History and Theological Interpretation. Dr. Green's third lecture was called, Scripture and Classical Christology: the Bible and the Rule of Faith. To listen to these lectures, click here or check out NTS' Chapel Podcast on iTunes.

Additionally, Dr. Green's lectures will be included in a book (not yet titled) that will be part of the Theological Explorations for the Church Catholic series that Baker Academic will publish in conjunction with Nazarene Theological Seminary in 2011. The books in this series will be expanded forms of public lectures presented at NTS as installments in two ongoing, endowed lectureships: the Earle Lectures on Biblical Literature and the Grider-Winget Lectures in Theology.

Through the Earle Lectures on Biblical Literature, outstanding biblical scholars are brought to NTS to stimulate further research and study in Biblical Literature. This endowed lecture series is named in honor of the late Dr. Ralph Earle, Distinguished Professor Emeritus.
