Southwestern Seminary is Proud to Present "Oxford 2005"

For the past 20 years, Southwestern Seminary students have had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore British history and culture and Baptist heritage through exciting tours and stimulating lectures at the "land of great heritage" - Great Britain.

This year, Southwestern's exciting Summer Study Program, dubbed "Oxford 2005", is schedueld for June 27 - July 18, and deadlines for application is quickly approaching.

The professors who will be teaching the seven courses this year are: Roy Fish, world-renowned evangelist and distinguished evangelism professor at Southwestern Seminary; James Hamilton, an accomplished New Testament scholar from the Havard School in Houston; Scott Swain, a dynamic young theologian on the Southwestern Seminary faculty; and, Malcolm Yarnell.

The professors will be delivering lectures on "spiritual awakenings, the New Testament, Christology, and Baptist heritage" at Oxford University. They will also host a number of Baptist and Evangelical Heritage tours and British History and Culture tours for the students.

In addition, the students will get to travel by private coach to the homes and churches of William Carey, Charles Spurgeon, John Bunyan, Andrew Fuller and other historical figures in British Baptist history.

Other exciting excursions included in the itinerary are trips to Wales, York, and Canterbury, and sightseeing in London where Chaucer, Cranmer, Tyndale, Wesley, and many other prominent Christian leaders have lived and died for their faith. Visits to historic sites such as Stonehenge, Bath and Stratford-upon-Avon is also a part of the program.

Participating students can earn up to 9 hours of credit (3 credit hours per class) by taking three of the seven courses offered.
