鈥淗ow wonderfully the Lord provides for the mission of His Church!鈥� said Seminary President Dr. Dale A. Meyer. 鈥淭wo things especially impress me about the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Fincke. First is their commitment to a strong future for solid biblical and Lutheran teaching. To that SA国际传媒 is also committed. Second is their foresight for the future. Anticipating the day they would be called to heaven, they provided for Gospel ministry for generations to come. Those who follow us need to know Jesus!

鈥淗ow humbled and motivated we are by their gift for our Savior’s mission.鈥�

In addition to the Fincke professorships, the Seminary recently announced the creation of the Dr. Jack Dean Kingsbury Chair of New Testament Theology. This chair was established by a generous gift from Dr. Jack Dean Kingsbury of Wilmore, Ky., a 1959 Seminary graduate who 鈥渄esires the biblical, Christ-centered theology of the Lutheran church to continue in its pastors through academic excellence at the Seminary,鈥� according to endowment documents. Dr. James W. Voelz, graduate professor of exegetical theology, was installed as the first Dr. Jack Dean Kingsbury Professor of New Testament Theology.

Endowed professorships are created to help recruit and retain top faculty. The Fincke endowed chairs are two of 10 endowed chairs currently at the Seminary.
