Gentry receives research grant for third time
April 28, 2008
By David RoachFor the third time, Peter Gentry, professor of Old Testament interpretation at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, has received a Lilly Theological Research Grant.
The grant, administered by the Association of Theological Schools (ATS) and funded by the Lilly Foundation, is awarded after a team of scholars evaluates applicants’ research proposals. ATS is the main accrediting agency for theological schools in North America.
Gentry plans to use the $12,000 award to fund research in Germany during a sabbatical from January through June 2009. The research will allow Gentry to finish a critical edition of the Greek text of Ecclesiastes for the Goettingen Septuagint Series…
I am glad to see a prof from Southern get the grant. I went to Boyce for three years and studied Hebrew under Dr. Fuller, I know full well how many good scholars, and more importantly solid Christian men who love Christ teach at the institution. I hope I can make my way back there for my Masters.
In Christ,
Blake
