Can we trust the New Testament? What motivates people to translate the Bible? Who should go to seminary? What makes Ashland Seminary unique?
These are a few of the questions discussed with Dr. John Byron, Professor of New Testament and Dean of Ashland Theological Seminary. He’s one of the men who has helped me learn to glean insights from the Bible (but don’t blame him for my bad theology!).
Dr. Byron has a desire to serve both the church and the academy, and, for him, Ashland Theological Seminary has been a wonderful consolidation of those two institutions. ATS is a place where freedom of thought and expression are grounded in commitment to God, and Dr. Byron’s teaching reflects this same emphasis. This appreciation for tension stems from his own Ph.D. studies when he began to realize that easy answers don’t exist, and the Bible, like life, is more complex than most of us will admit.
