Trinity honors and continues the legacy of its major contributors through a combination of centers, lectures and honoraria. The Carl F. H. Henry Center is a nod to longtime TEDS faculty member and theologian Carl F. H. Henry which also continues his vision of theological development. The Paul Hiebert Center for World Christianity and Global Theology is named after the Trinity Evangelical Missions department faculty member Paul Hiebert. He made numerous contributions to the field of missions research and practical application on the field. The Hiebert Center at TEDS is designed to foster collaboration between missionary personnel, academics and lay persons from across the world to engage in research and field work. The Kenneth Kantzer Lectures are named after the namesake visionary who shaped Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. History of TEDS Trinity Evangelical Divinity School was incorporated in 1963 as the result of a merge between Trinity Seminary and Bible College and its relocation to Deerfield Illinois. Kenneth Kantzer was elected Dean and had the vision to create a “divinity school” which would be a university environment of biblical studies where world class scholars would produce world class students. Trinity became an academic heavyweight in the late 1960s by hiring top academic faculty in their respective fields. Trinity’s mission, statement of faith and curriculum were greatly influenced by Kenneth Kantzer and Carl F H Henry. Both men are ranked as being among the most important evangelicals of the 20th century. Some of the most notable evangelical scholars came to Trinity due to Dean Kantzers recruiting efforts. These faculty included Robert Culver(Systematic Theology), John Warwick Montgomery (Church history), Walter Kaiser (Old Testament), Richard Troup ( Christian Education), Gleason Archer Jr (Old Testament)and David Hasselgrave (Missions) among several others. Some of the academic faculty who were a part of Fuller Theological Seminary had left the seminary due to its change of stance on biblical inerrancy. The faculty which departed believed in full biblical inerrancy that the Bible doesn’t contain any error whether it is matters of faith but also no error in history or science. Trinity became a rival to Fuller Seminary for the leadership of evangelicalism. Trinity continues to produce first rate scholarship in the 21st century with professors such as Kevin Vanhoozer, Don A Carson, Paul Feinberg, John Feinberg, Paul Hiebert and John Woodbridge holding faculty positions within the school. Trinity continues the legacy of both Kenneth Kantzer and Carl F. H. Henry through the schools operation but also the Carl Henry Center on campus and the Kenneth Kantzer Lectures.
