After more than 25 years of faithful service to the Lord and to Beeson Divinity School, Robert Smith, Jr. announced today that he will retire from full-time teaching at the end of the 2023-24 academic year. Smith, who currently holds the Charles T. Carter Baptist Chair of Divinity at Beeson, joined our faculty in 1997 and has become a beloved member of the Beeson family, leaving an impact on students, faculty and staff through his legendary preaching, teaching and genuine Christian love.

“Robert Smith is one of the most influential preachers and teachers of preaching in the world—and yet no one invests more time, love and prayer in our students than he does," said Douglas A. Sweeney, dean of Beeson Divinity School. "Hundreds around the world count him as a spiritual father. We will miss him in the classroom but are pleased to say that he plans to visit and minister at Beeson frequently in years to come.”

We will continue to honor Dr. Smith and his contributions to Beeson over these next few months. Join us by sharing your favorite memories with him in the comments below!
