The Berean Bible Church of Hilo would like to introduce William D. Barrick or “Bill” who is currently Pofessor of Old Testament and Director of Th.D. Studies at The Master’s Seminary in Sun Valley, California.  Dr. Barrick holds a B.A. from Denver Baptist Bible College, an M.Div. and Th.M. from San Francisco Theological Seminary and a Th.D. from Grace Theological Seminary. 

Before joining The Master's Seminary faculty in 1997, Dr. Barrick served with the Association of Baptists for World Evangelism (ABWE). In 1981 he and his family moved to Bangladesh. In that ministry Dr. Barrick served as the Exegetical Consultant for Bible translation projects, theological consultant for the Literature Division, and adjunct faculty member of the Baptist Bible Institute of Bangladesh, Bangladesh Theological Seminary, and Grand Rapids Baptist Seminary Extension Program (Singapore).

Prior to joining ABWE in 1979, Dr. Barrick had been Professor and Chairman of the Old Testament Department at Denver Baptist Theological Seminary from 1972 to 1978.

Beyond his teaching and Bible translation work, Dr. Barrick has been active in a variety of ministries including three years as Director of Church Planting in Chittagong, Bangladesh. He has also had a varied writing ministry from scholarly journals to adult Sunday School materials.

Dr. Barrick has been writing in the areas of Bible and theology for forty years. His writings range from adult Sunday school materials, in-house library publications, and newspaper editorials to technical journal articles in English and a commentary on the book of Daniel in Bengali.

In addition, as a result of his fifteen years of Bible translation ministry in Bangladesh, he has participated in the production of Bibles, New Testaments, and Bible sections in six different languages. While in Bangladesh he participated in the editing of over twenty books and tracts, including a Bengali translation of Unger's Bible Handbook.

During his doctoral studies he worked as a phototypesetter and proofreader for the first fascicle of The Hittite Dictionary of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago and a number of other major volumes.  Dr. Barrick has been involved in writing or contributing to 24 books, and has authored over 100 periodical articles and book reviews.

Dr. Barrick has been married to his wife Barbara for 41 years. They have four married children and fourteen grandchildren.

Dr. and Mrs. Barrick will be joining us in Hilo from May 30 to June 5.  Dr. Barrick will be presenting a “Conference on the Bible” for our church family and the Hilo public from Sunday, June 1 to Wednesday, June 4.  Service times on Sunday will be 10:15 AM & 6:00 PM.  The Monday through Wednesday services will be held at 6:30 PM each evening.  The conference will take place at Grace Baptist Church of Hilo located at 2575 Kilauea Avenue.  There is no admission charge for this event and nursery care as well as refreshments will be provided.  We trust that this conference will serve Hilo believers “for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ” (Ephesians 4:12).
