Theological seminary in Dallas, Texas
Dallas Theological Seminary (DTS ) is an evangelical theological seminary in Dallas, Texas . It is known for popularizing the theological system of dispensationalism . DTS has campuses in Dallas , Houston , and Washington, D.C. , as well as extension sites in Atlanta , Austin , San Antonio , Nashville , Northwest Arkansas , Europe, and Guatemala , and a multilingual online education program. DTS is the largest non-denominational seminary accredited by the Association of Theological Schools .
History [ edit ]
DTS was founded as Evangelical Theological College in 1924 by Rollin T. Chafer and his brother, Lewis Sperry Chafer , who taught the first class of thirteen students, and William Henry Griffith Thomas ,[2] [3] expository Bible preaching was taught simply, and under Chafers' leadership, DTS pioneered one of the first four-year degrees in theology, the Master of Theology (Th.M.). The present location of the school was purchased in 1926 and Doctor of Theology (Th.D.) program was started in 1927.[4]
The seminary had a considerable influence in the fundamentalist movement by training students who established various Bible Colleges and independent fundamentalist churches in the southern United States.[5]
DTS has continually published a quarterly entitled Bibliotheca Sacra [6]
John F. Walvoord took over as president in 1952 after Chafer's death in 1952. In 1974, DTS added a two-year Master of Arts (MA ) program in biblical studies, and in 1982, a two-year program in Christian Education was begun. In addition to these, a Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) program was opened in 1980. Walvoord retired as DTS president in 1986.[7]
From 1986 to 1994, Donald K. Campbell served as president of DTS. During his tenure, DTS opened a three-year MA program in Biblical Counseling and a two-year MA program in Biblical exegesis and linguistics .[7]
Chuck Swindoll served as president of the seminary from 1994 to 2001. Mark Bailey followed, serving as president from 2001 to 2020.[7]
As of Spring 2014, DTS had over 15,000 alumni serving in various ministerial capacities in 97 countries worldwide.[8]
Accreditation [ edit ]
DTS was first accredited in 1944 by the Board of Regents, State Education Department of the University of the State of New York of Albany.[9] Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and in 1994 by the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada .[10]
The school is also a member of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI), the Evangelical Training Association (ETA), the Jerusalem University College , and the Institute of Theological Studies (ITS).[10]
Theology [ edit ]
1993 reprint of Chafer's Systematic Theology
DTS is known as a center of modern dispensational teaching[11] [12] [13] [14] [15] systematic theology which approaches the Bible with a "premillennial , dispensational interpretation of the Scriptures."[2] Systematic Theology , his eight-volume work describing this approach, was first published in 1948 and is still a required textbook for some courses at DTS.[2]
Notable theological beliefs of the school include: premillennialism, dispensationalism, and Biblical inerrancy . The school considers itself non-denominational within Protestantism , and offers classes in all 66 books of the Protestant Bible .[10]
