Dallas Theological Seminary Summary
The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.
Dallas Theological Seminary (DTS) is a conservative evangelical theological seminary located in Dallas, Texas. DTS was founded as Evangelical Theological College in 1924 by Dr. Lewis Sperry Chafer, who taught the first class of 13 students, and William Henry Griffith Thomas, who was to have been the school’s first theology professor but died before the first classes began. Their vision was a school where expository Bible preaching was taught simply, and under Chafer’s leadership, DTS pioneered one of the first four-year degrees in theology, the Master of Theology (Th.M.). In 1974, DTS added a two-year Masters of Arts (MA) program in theology, and in 1982, a two-year program in Christian Education was begun. DTS graduate Dr. Chuck Swindoll was then president of the school from 1994 to 2001, and now serves as the school’s Chancellor. DTS was accredited in 1969 by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and in 1994 by the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada.
