This Sunday we welcome back to our pulpit, Dr. Dean Deppe, Associate Professor of New Testament at Calvin Theological Seminary.
Dean has served in a variety of Christian Reformed churches (including Unity CRC) and he has taught in a variety of settings, including Asian Theological Seminary in the Philippines, Classis Red Mesa in New Mexico, and now Calvin Theological Seminary. |
In the classroom, his aim is to equip students for a full life of teaching and preaching. He values conversations with students about goals in ministry and detailed discussions about Jesus' sayings and teachings. Dean is from Grand Rapids, MI and is married to Julie Hollemans. They have four children. | |
"In the increasing search for meaning in the twenty-first century, we have to open anew a window to the life, ministry, and death of Jesus. This captivating person of the first century who now rules over every inch of his creation is both the target of our study and the Lord who by his Spirit enables us to understand His life and work. I rise up every morning with the excitement of discovering more of the significance of this pivotal figure in earth's history. I hope that my students will be stimulated to deepen their understanding of this person about whom 'even the whole world would not have room for the books that could be written.'" - Dr. Dean Deppe | |
