Dr. Stanley Toussaint
The humble, spiritual giant from Hinckley, Minnesota, who touched the lives of many, taught and preached the Scriptures, and loved well, is home—with his Lord and Savior. Dr. Stanley Toussaint, Dallas Theological Seminary's beloved senior professor emeritus of Bible Exposition who loved to teach Hebrews and Revelation is now with his Lord and Savior.

Known as one of the world's leading authorities on the New Testament, Dr. Toussaint was also an editor, author, and conference speaker. A man who loved to fish and travel, he has taught in Christian schools in the Middle East, Australia, and the Far East, and has ministered in pulpits around the world. A pastor-teacher committed to expository preaching, Dr. Toussaint aptly blended scholarship with a heart for God and His people.

After retiring from teaching in 2012, Dr. Toussaint continued to do the work he loved. He served as an adjunct professor, teaching and mentoring his students, and staying active in his home church, Stonebriar Community Church in Frisco, Texas. He seldom let anything stop him from completing what God had set before him.
