The theological seminar Erzhausen (TSE) is the theological seminar of the Bund Freikirchlicher Pfingstgemeinden KdöR (working group of the Christian communities in Germany until May 1982).
Naming, history
The Berea theological seminary is named after the ancient Macedonian city of Beröa , today's Veria . There Paul and Silas are said to have been welcomed by members of the Jewish community "more kindly than ... in Thessalonica" on their second mission trip. In the Acts of the Apostles it is said that the Jews mentioned have willingly accepted the Gospel and "daily searched the Scriptures" to see "whether it was so" ( Acts 17 : 10-11 LUT ).
In 1954, with the help of the Assemblies of God, a site in Erzhausen was acquired to give the seminar a permanent location.
