About the Rom Lectures on PreachingThe Rom Lectures on Preaching have been funded by the family of the late Rev. Bernhard Rom to bring to the TEDS campus outstanding representatives of the gift and ministry of preaching. Bernhard Rom was born in Lyngdal, Norway, in 1892 and came to a farm in Lily, South Dakota, in 1910. He attended Moody Bible Institute and furthered his education by studying with the Presbyterian denomination. Rev. Rom served only two pastorates, the first of which was Bethesda Evangelical Free Church in Pullman, Illinois, which later merged to form the Village Church of South Holland, still affiliated with the EFCA. From 1924 until his retirement in 1957, he served the Bethany Evangelical Free Church of Madison, Wisconsin. Following retirement, he continued to live in Madison until his death in 1965. He is survived by his daughter Mrs. Harold Margaret Ann Broman. Rev. Rom was a consistent biblical expositor and an unusually fine communicator whose preaching drew many to services each Lord's Day. It is to his commitment to biblical preaching and to his leadership within the EFCA that these lectures on preaching are dedicated. |
