UNION HOSTS SPRING BIBLE CONFERENCE
Jackson, Tenn. — 51ÉçÇø's annual Spring Bible Conference will be held April 20-22.
This year's conference, titled "Standing Firm," will feature speakers James E. White and Walter C. Kaiser Jr. Music will be provided by Union alumnus Chuck Maxwell.
According to Union Campus Minister Todd Brady, "This year's speakers are committed to standing for truth in a society that does not react well to absolutes. Their defense of biblical truth will benefit all who seek to understand Christianity's relevance in today's culture."
In demand as a speaker and consultant, White is the author of "Opening the Front Door" and the academic text, "What is Truth?" His newest book is titled "Rethinking the Church." White is the founding and senior pastor of Mecklenburg Community Church.
Less than one year ago, Kaiser assumed the presidency of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary where he served as the Colman M. Mockler chair of Old Testament and director of the Biblical Foundation for Ethics. Prior to joining the faculty at Gordon-Conwell, Kaiser served at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in faculty and administrative roles. He is the author of numerous publications including "Ecclesiastes: Total Life" and "Toward an Exegetical Theology: Biblical Exegesis for Preaching and Teaching."
Like his residence in Jackson, Maxwell describes his music as "halfway between Memphis and Nashville." He has performed across the nation and has recorded six albums and theme songs for World Changers and North American and International Mission Boards of the Southern Baptist Convention. Maxwell currently serves as the program coordinator of Northbrook Church in North Madison County.
