Ouachita’s 2015 Pastors’ Conference on Sept. 24 to explore 2 Corinthians

September 16, 2015 - Meaghan Pollizi

Ouachita Baptist University will host the 2015 Pastors’ Conference on Thursday, Sept. 24. The event is sponsored by Ouachita’s Pruet School of Christian Studies and the Arkansas Baptist State Convention.

“Each year, the Southern Baptist Convention chooses a book of the Bible to study for a Winter Bible Study,” explained Dr. Danny Hays, dean of the Pruet School. “Most churches will study the book in January to March, so we try to provide pastors with top scholarship and teaching on that particular book early in the fall so they can use this material for their own teaching.”

pcThe topic of this year’s conference is 2 Corinthians, and the conference leader is Dr. George Guthrie, the Benjamin W. Perry Professor of Bible at Union University in Jackson, Tenn.

“The participants will receive a good overview of 2 Corinthians, along with great resources to help them to teach this book in their own churches,” Hays added.

The conference is an all-day event starting at 9 a.m. and concluding at 3:30 p.m. Registration may be completed online at www.obu.edu/pconf. The conference cost of $55 per person includes Guthrie’s 2 Corinthians book from the Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament series, session notes for preaching/teaching, continental breakfast, lunch and refreshments, the opportunity to purchase PSCS faculty-authored books at discount prices and fellowship with others in ministry.

Guthrie has written 11 books, including 2 Corinthians and Biblical Greek Exegesis, co-authored with OBU’s J. Scott Duvall and published by Zondervan. He holds both Ph.D. and M.Div. degrees from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and a Th.M. from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.
