BISHOP BEKY EARNS DOCTOR OF DIVINITY DEGREE

Bishop Zoltán Beky has received his diploma of Doctor of Divinity from the Midwestern Graduate Bible School in Indianapolis, Indiana. Bishop Beky earned his degree with his studies on Calvin just recently published; “Calvin and Barth”, and “Calvin and the Contemporary Reformed Theology in Hungary.”

Zoltán Beky began his theological training at the Reformed Theological Academy of Sárospatak, Hungary. Following the agelong custom of theological education in Hungary he went abroad for his postgraduate studies. Attending seminaries in New Brunswick, N. J. and Philadelphia, Pa. he obtained his Bachelor of Divinity degree in addition to his Hungarian pastoral qualification.

Later Zoltán Beky was made an Honorary Professor of his Alma Mater at Sárospatak.

We are all pleased to learn the good news and congratulate Dr. Beky for his fine achievement.
