Refresher that Reminds
Dear Coworker:
As Dean of Asia Biblical Theological Seminary (ABTS), I know that it is essential
for church leaders to have times of personal refreshment in order to continue
effectively in the ministry. Therefore, it is an honor for me to invite you as a
guest of ABTS to my home church in Cedarville, Ohio, for a refresher with one of
ABTS’s adjunct professors, Dr. Scott Carroll.
Dr. Carroll, an expert in ancient manuscripts and languages, will open up to us
the world of Scriptural transmission, including a hands-on “mini-museum” of
papyri texts, scrolls and medieval manuscripts to illustrate the story of the
composition, transmission and preservation of Scripture.
Join us for this “East meets West” refresher that will remind us once again of the
glory of God’s revelation to us in written form.
Monday, June 29
Moffat Hall
Grace Baptist Church
Cedarville, Ohio
Beginning promptly at 10:00 AM
A catered lunch is provided, and
the program will wrap up at 2:30PM

Dear Ministry Colleague,
I hope you can make space in your schedule to participate in
this event. At Cornerstone University we are deeply committed
to the transforming power of the gospel in a global perspective.
So, needless to say, we are thankful for the ministry of our Asia
Biblical Theological Seminary that transports outstanding theological education to church leaders all across the Asian Rim. I
think you will find this day to not only be a time of personal
refreshment and fellowship but also a wonderful eye-opening
experience about God's work through ABTS.
All the best,
Joe Stowell
President Cornerstone University and ABTS
I’ve had the chance to work with and hear Dr. Scott Carroll when we served ABTS in Thailand together, and I can tell you what he will have for us is different, engaging, and best of
all—refreshing as we marvel at how God has preserved the written Word!

Dr. Scott Carroll is Adjunct Professor of
Archaeology for Asia Biblical Theological
Seminary. Dr. Carroll has done strategic
events with the likes of Josh McDowell and
beyond.

Scott's education includes a master's degree
in church history from Trinity Evangelical
Divinity School, a doctorate in ancient
studies from Miami University of Ohio and
further studies in ancient languages from
Hebrew Union College. His research, which
focuses on the study of ancient and medieval manuscripts, has made Scott one of the
world's foremost scholars on ancient biblical texts.
An authority on the use of technology in research, Scott regularly collaborates with a working group at Oxford University developing innovations in multispectral imaging and digital
effects to analyze ancient manuscripts. In addition to uncovering previously unknown layers of text in ancient manuscripts, the technology is expected to have further application
outside the realm of ancient manuscript studies.
