DTS students can receive course credit for hitting the road with Dr. Mark Yarbrough this summer.

Dr. Yarbrough, DTS’s dean of academic affairs, will be in Asheville, NC, June 24-28 to teach a course entitled “The BIG Picture: Grasping the Master’s Plan from Genesis to Revelation.” The week-long class is offered as an intensive Bible training course by the Billy Graham Training Center at The Cove.

Too often, Christians view the scriptures as a collection of unrelated stories by many different authors. Dr. Yarbrough’s course teaches the unity of the Biblical narrative across all 66 books. Through daily class sessions and reflection time, this training will help students understand how every page of the Bible is connected and will encourage them know God in his role as Divine Author.

DTS students will receive elective credit for the course. Financial assistance is available through The Cove.
