David S. Dockery enrolled in 1976 as a seminary student with a deep hunger to know God’s Word, to form orthodox theology, and to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. Having read several of Francis Schaeffer’s books and J. I. Packer’s Knowing God, he developed a conviction to dive into the biblical languages. Dockery went on to earn master’s degrees from three separate institutions. He then completed a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Texas system while teaching theology and New Testament at Criswell College. Soon after, Dockery began demonstrating the theologically wise and personally winsome leadership which made him a highly respected evangelical. He served theological institutions from Louisville to Jackson to Chicago before returning to his beloved alma mater in Fort Worth, where he is now the tenth president of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. This issue of the Southwestern Journal of Theology is dedicated to an important emphasis in the life and thought of Dockery and in the identity of this institution.
