Johnson serves as President of Criswell College. He was graduated from Criswell College in 1986, receiving the Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies. In 1997, he received a Master of Arts in Historical and Theological Studies from Conservative Baptist Seminary in Denver, Colorado, and in 2003, he received his Ph.D. in Christian Ethics from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Previously, Dr. Johnson served as a pastor, as well as in the senior administration and faculty at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT If you are interested in studying at a school where every student is entrusted with a corpus of knowledge, grounded in the Scriptures, and learns to love God more—Criswell College is the place for you. While all of our degrees are accredited, we are different from the typical college or university. At Criswell College, we view everything that we do as an act of worship. Jesus said that those who worship the Father must do so in “spirit” and “truth.” We seek to make that a reality at Criswell College by structuring our entire program along those two parallel lines. Criswell College is about the spirit. Our top priority is to develop the spiritual lives of our students. If you graduate from Criswell College, you should love Jesus Christ more when you leave than when you came. We achieve this by emphasizing the life of the spirit in a number of ways. We have a required class in the spiritual disciplines where students learn how to walk with God. We take time twice a week to worship together as a college during chapel. Each student is required to have an active ministry project every semester. In addition to our regular outreach days where the faculty, administration, and student body share the gospel on the streets of Dallas, we require students to take a mission trip before they graduate. All of this is to encourage our students to worship God in spirit. Criswell College is also about truth. We want to cultivate the life of the mind so that students will think deeply about the gospel. We want students to know God’s Word. We require students to learn Greek and Hebrew. They will also take a robust program of classes in Hermeneutics, Theology, Old Testament, New Testament, and Church History. But beyond that, we want our students to know something about God’s world. We have our students take classes in culture, philosophy, and history. We offer classes in logic and cinematic theology. We want to develop Christian thinkers who are passionate about the gospel and excited to engage the world of ideas from a Christian frame of reference. When your studies emphasize the preparation of the spirit, and your academic work is based upon the truth, the result is “Scholarship on Fire!” If this is your heart’s desire, Criswell is the right choice. Yours in His service, Jerry A. Johnson, Ph.D. President & Professor of Ethics and Theology “Scholarship on Fire” The Legacy of W. A. Criswell 1909-2002 I believe we could build here in this church, using these facilities just as they are one of the great Bible institutes, teaching God’s Word. One of the great Bible institutes in the nation... Dr. W. A. Criswell, Founder and Chancellor “Pictures of Silver” October 5, 1969 I am delighted that Criswell College is an affiliated school of the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention. We at the SBTC feel very strongly that Criswell College is a vital partner as men and women are trained to be Kingdom leaders for Kingdom ministry. Together we will labor to further the gospel ministry around the world while holding fast to the inerrancy of God’s Word. I believe great days are ahead as we honor our Lord in preaching the gospel and building up the church.

    udallas.edu 2019-20 Bulletin 2019-20 ON THE COVER: Madie Grace Hoelscher, BA ’19, uses a visual language to create meditative pieces focused on color and shape. Primary colors carry what she considers life’s most important aspects, especially for connection: red connotes love, yellow prayer, and blue death. “Trypan Blue” deals with the raw nature of death, the title referencing a vital slide stain used in biology to visualize the number of dead cells in a sample, highlighting the distinction between life and death. The lines signify humanity in relation to the sublime — and in this case, the connection to those we have lost.

  • FALL COMMENCEMENT 2020 CELEBRATING the GRADUATING CLASS So Enter That Daily Thou Mayest Grow in Knowledge Wisdom and Love
    FALL COMMENCEMENT 2020 CELEBRATING THE GRADUATING CLASS So enter that daily thou mayest grow in knowledge wisdom and love. To the Class of 2020, Congratulations on your graduation from Ohio University! You are one of the fortunate who has experienced the nation’s best transformative learning experience. This year has not been what any of us had planned, as the COVID-19 global pandemic changed all of our lives. I want to thank you for boldly responding to these historic changes by continuing to learn together, work together and support one another. You have shown great resilience as you navigated the many challenges of 2020 and I am very proud of you. Your class is truly special and will always be remembered at Ohio University for your spirit and fortitude. Your time at Ohio University prepared you for your future, and now you and your classmates are beginning your careers, advancing in new academic programs or taking on other challenges. I want you to know, though, that your transformation is not yet complete. For a true education does not stop with a diploma; it continues throughout every day of your life. I encourage you to take the lessons you have learned at Ohio University and expand upon them in the years to come. As you have already learned, the OHIO alumni network is a vast enterprise – accomplished in their respectable professions, loyal to their alma mater, and always willing to help a fellow Bobcat land that next job or find an apartment/realtor in a new city. I urge you to seek out your nearest alumni chapter or a special interest society of alumni and friends, to reach out through social media (#ohioalumni), and to stay connected to Ohio University.
