Harding University’s 89th Annual Bible Lectureship will be taking place from Sept. 30 to Oct. 3.
Bruce McLarty, lectureship director for the past two years, said he has attended lectureship for the past 20 years and is looking forward to this year. He compared lectureship to a big family reunion.
According to McLarty the theme for this year’s lectureship will be the book of Joshua.
“Our faculty and guests will be studying this book and really get a feel on what it’s about and how they can apply it to their lives,” McLarty said.
McLarty said there will be keynote speakers from Harding every night and the classes will cover mostly general topics of interest to churches.
“There are classes that are based on Joshua that go from cradle roll all the way to adult classes and to the pulpit,” McLarty said.
Sophomore Bailey Tubbs said she will be attending as many of the lectures as she can. Tubbs said she is taking an Old Testament class and is required to give a summary of each lecture.
“I look forward to broadening my horizons,” Tubbs said. “I feel that the lectureship will be a success and that I will grow from it.”
Some of the keynote speakers will be Dr. Monte Cox, Dr. Scott Adair, Dr. Phil Thompson, Dr. Dale Manor, Dr. Cliff Ganus, Jr., Dr. Eddie Randolph and Nathan Guy.
In addition, there will be programs specifically designed for women.
Keynote lectures and most musical presentations will be in the Benson Auditorium or the Administration Auditorium.
Classes will be located in the McInteer Bible and World Missions Center, Cone Chapel, Heritage 208, 209 and Student Center 236.
Registration starts at 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 30 at Lectureship Central in the McInteer Rotunda. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday classes begin each day at 8:45 a.m.
