Stanley D. Toussaint (1928-2017)

In the morning hours of Tuesday, September 5, 2017, Stanley D. Toussaint, DTS professor from 1960 to 2012 and beloved teacher of many, went to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

In 2011, DTS created a video profile of Dr. Toussaint showing his unique blend of scholarship with a pastoral heart for God and God’s people.

Of his friend and mentor, President Mark L. Bailey said:

“I am at DTS in many ways because of Dr. Stan Toussaint.  He has been such a beloved friend, model, and mentor to so many of us. He is truly one of my favorite heroes of the faith.”

Dr. Toussaint left behind a rich legacy of teaching and writing which you can explore below:

• At his retirement in 2012, DTS chronicled Dr. Toussaint's journey from Hinckley, Minnesota to Dallas, Texas, and his unique role in shaping a generation of Biblical teachers including Charles Swindoll, David Jeremiah, Erwin Lutzer, and Jennie Allen.
