Dr. Terry Parrish: Why Church History Matters
LECTURE ONE: CHURCH HISTORY
Speaker: Terry Parrish
---
Dr. John E. Penn was the Pastor Emeritus of North Bryant Baptist Church (formerly Southwest MBC), where he pastored for 43 years. He was also professor at the Missionary Baptist Seminary where he taught for 34 years (1970-2004). During Bro. Penn’s time there, he taught several courses, including Church History, Hermeneutics, Comparative Religion, and Ministerial Practicalities.
Bro. Penn was passionate about Church History and Hermeneutics. He taught Church History seminars in several states and conducted Church History tours in the U.S. and abroad in France and Italy. His pastorate was characterized by his conservative doctrinal stance, and his verse-by-verse exposition of the Bible, which led him to preach through the entire New Testament.
We hope this lecture series will inspire the next generation to study and learn from God’s word and about His people!
