A Centennial Tribute to Bruce Metzger: Remembering His Achievements, Influence, and Legacy
—Princeton Seminary Celebrates 100th Anniversary of Dr. Bruce Metzger’s Birth with Special Public Lecture February 13, given by Dr. Michael Holmes, professor at Bethel University and former student of Metzger’s—
Princeton, NJ, January 24, 2014–World-renowned New Testament scholar and Bible translator Bruce Metzger, who was a beloved teacher, mentor, and friend of generations of Princeton Theological Seminary students, will be remembered in a lecture on February 13 honoring the 100th anniversary of his birth. Metzger was a member of the Seminary faculty from 1940 to 1984, and from 1964 to his retirement was the George L. Collord Professor of New Testament Language and Literature. He was one of the preeminent New Testament critics and biblical translators of the twentieth century.
The lecture, “A Centennial Tribute to Dr. Bruce Metzger: Remembering His Achievements, Influence, and Legacy,” will be given by Dr. Michael Holmes, the University Professor of Biblical Studies and Early Christianity at Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota, and a former Ph.D. student of Metzger’s.
Holmes will present an overview of Metzger’s academic career and achievements, focusing primarily on his significant work with the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible. “Dr. Metzger was arguably the greatest textual specialist and biblical translator America has produced,” Holmes says. “Yet for all his academic achievements and international renown, he is warmly remembered by many as much for his character, his courtesy and grace, and his genuine interest in his students and his encouragement of younger colleagues.”
The lecture will take place at 7:00 p.m. in the Daniel J. Theron Assembly Room in the Princeton Theological Seminary library, at the corner of Mercer Street and Library Place in Princeton. The lecture is open to the public and will be followed by a reception.
