Dr. Robert G. Witty (1906 - 2007), is known as "the Father of Theological Distance Education" in America. His contribution to Christian ministry spanned nearly 87 of his 100 years. Remembered as the founder of Luther Rice Seminary, and author of many books, Dr. Witty pioneered a ministry education format that is today widely accepted. Dr. Witty was a founding faculty member of Master's, and was a close friend and ministry mentor of Master's founder, Dr. Dennis D. Frey. As one of his many contributions to Master's, Dr. Witty presented as a gift to MISD, his personal copy of an historic lecture on the history of the Bible prepared specifically for him by one of the 20th Century's great Bible scholars, Dr. Herbert Lockyer. These two great men of God enjoyed a long friendship, and together impacted Christian ministry not only in their own generation, but for future generations until the return of Christ. Dr. Herbert
Lockyer (1886 -1984), held pastorates in Scotland and England before
coming the the United States in 1935. In 1955 he returned to his native
England where he served the cause of Christ until again moving to the
United States where he continued to pursue his great gift of writing and
preaching until his death in 1984. Dr. Lockyer was the author of
over 100 books, a great many of which remain highly popular among pastors
and lay Bible scholars of all ages.
