Bethel Seminary
Daniel R. Watson
2003-
Assistant Professor of Old Testament and Hebrew
Watson has worked closely over the years in ministry with his father, pastor of the Blessed Hope Baptist Church, an inner city African-American church in Indianapolis. His sensitivity to and understanding of the African-American community, cross-cultural issues, and ministry in the urban arena, rivaled only by his deep and abiding commitment to Jesus Christ and His church, greatly enhance the educational and ministry outreach of Bethel Seminary San Diego. In addition to Old Testament exegesis and theology, Hebrew and its cognate languages, and ancient Near East civilizations, Watson’s interests include rabbinic literature, Qumran research and other aspects of Second Temple Judaism, and patristics, especially the Syrian tradition. Watson also plans to pursue a study of Islamic literature and thought from an evangelical perspective.
