In a recent paper presented to the Evangelical Theological Society, our Associate Professor of Old Testament, Jason DeRouchie, attempted to articulate why Deuteronomy was one of the NT author’s favorite books, and why Moses and Paul both could have affirmed that the law given to Israel was the “embodiment of knowledge and truth” (Rom 2:20)—”holy and righteous and good” (Rom 7:12)—and yet also “not of faith” (Gal 3:12). DeRouchie is committed to helping ministers rightly handle the Old Testament, and this paper, titled “The Pursuit of Lasting Covenant Relationship: A Summary of Deuteronomy’s Theology,” was an attempt toward this end.

Please thank the Lord with us for His remarkable provisions for BCS in our inaugural year. We opened our doors to 78 students across all of our programs (35 graduate students and 43 undergraduates). These students have come from all across the US and some also from other countries. Please pray for them as they begin their studies at BCS!
Our hope is that you, if you are excited about the vision of BCS, would partner with us in prayer. First and foremost we need the guiding hand of our Lord Jesus Christ. He will accomplish all things for us. As you pray, please seek the Lord to see if you might be led to also support us financially.
