Conservative Powerhouse
Dr. Richard Land
to Sound Off in Dallas

Criswell College presents Dr. Richard Land in a three-day lecture series that will clear the air on the
church-and-state shouting match.

 

DALLAS, January 28/Criswell Radio Network/ -- In the midst of a presidential race where faith has become a hot topic, Criswell College has asked Dr. Richard Land to discuss the role of God in our country’s past, present, and future in a special lecture series this week.

Dr. Richard Land will be the featured speaker at the college for the Criswell Theological Lecture Series beginning tomorrow (January 29), Wednesday (January 30), and Thursday (January 31). These seminars are open to the public and will take place in Ruth Chapel at Criswell College daily from 10:00 – 11:00AM (CST). Dr. Land will discuss his latest book, The Divided States of America? What Liberals and Conservatives are Missing in the God-and-Country Shouting Match!Land will be available after each lecture for interviews and book signing.

Educated at Princeton and Oxford, Dr. Land has served as president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission since 1988. In 2005, he was featured in Time Magazine as one of “The Twenty-five Most Influential Evangelicals in America.” Land is also the host of three nationally syndicated radio programs: For Faith and Family, For Faith and Family’s Insight, and Richard Land Live.

“Nobody rings the bell like Dr. Land when it comes to explaining what it means for Americans to be ‘one nation under God’,” said president of Criswell College and radio talk show host Dr. Jerry Johnson. “American Christians are sometimes unsure about the proper relationship between church and state. Dr. Land will set the record straight.”

Join Dr. Jerry Johnson, Dr. Richard Land, and the Criswell Radio Network for a compelling look at our nation’s heritage and how it relates to the current political and cultural scenes. Hear Dr. Land speak at the Criswell College campus Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
