Wesley Biblical Seminary announces a search for the following position:  Professor of Old Testament.

Wesley Biblical Seminary stands in the historic Wesleyan-Arminian tradition and advocates for two doctrinally distinctive commitments.  First, we affirm the absolute authority of the Holy Scripture in the life of the Church and the Christian faith, and we confess that it is the inerrant word of God.  Second, we believe that holiness in one’s life, mind, and desires is not only commanded in Scripture but can be experienced in this life by the work of the Holy Spirit in an experience of God’s gracious work subsequent to the New Birth.  Successful applicants will not only agree with these positions but will be enthusiastic advocates for these.

Requirements for application are:

1. Ph.D. or equivalent degree in Old Testament studies.
2. Ability to teach biblical Hebrew.
3. A familiarity with and facility in teaching the Inductive Bible Study Method of hermeneutics.
4. Experience in classroom instruction.
5. Full agreement with the doctrinal statement and institutional ethos statement.

The following are categories which will be given additional preferential evaluation.

1. Have a record of scholarly publications.
2. Are willing to relocate to the Jackson area to be part of our institutional community.
3. Are currently an active member in a denomination within the Wesleyan tradition.
4. Are interested in serving as a part of the Wesley Biblical Seminary family for “the long haul.”
