Brethren in Historical and Theological Perspectives with Dale Brown - description from the back of the VHS tape box:

"'Brethren in Historical and Theological Perspectives' is a 20-session series taught by Professor Emeritus Dale Brown, who retired from teaching in 1994.  Dale shares insights from the many discussions he encountered in the more than 30 years he taught the course at Bethany Theological Seminary.

Rather than an abundance of data, the focus of the series is on the theos, the spirit of the Brethren.  As students consider the historical context and contemporary manifestation of Brethren life and thought, they also begin to share their personal experiences.  When this happens, the Brethren heritage comes alive and the ultimate goal of the course is achieved. '"

Produced and edited by David Sollenberger."

Host, Theresa Eshbach.

Camera Assistance, Chris Whitacre.

Consultants, Rick Gardner and Fumitaka Matsuoka."
