GREENVILLE, S.C. (November 7, 2023) – Paul Hartog will be the featured speaker at BJU Seminary’s 2023 Stewart Custer Lecture Series Thursday, Nov. 9, in Seminary 113 on the campus of Bob Jones University.
The annual lecture series honors one of BJU Seminary’s most celebrated scholars—the late Dr. Stewart Custer, who served 56 years at BJU Seminary and BJU—by offering insights into contemporary challenges to the church based on in-depth, faithful analysis of the biblical text.
Hartog’s presentation, “The New Testament in the Apostolic Fathers,” will explore what the early church leaders taught about the transmission of apostolic doctrine into the second century and why it is valuable for biblical studies.
Hartog received a BA in Biblical Studies from Faith Baptist Bible College, an MA and MDiv in Theological Studies from Faith Baptist Theological Seminary, an MA in History from Iowa State University, an MTh in Theological Ethics from St. Andrews Theological College and a Ph.D. in New Testament and Early Christianity from Loyola University Chicago.
He now serves as the chair of theological studies at Faith Baptist Theological Seminary in Ankeny, Iowa, and as a senior professor within the college and seminary. He teaches systematic theology, Greek and Latin languages, apologetics and philosophy of religion, Christianity and culture, comparative religions, general church history and Baptist history.
