Founding

Beeson Divinity was established on February 9, 1988. It is named for Ralph Waldo Beeson, who gave one of the largest donations in Samford history to create the first divinity school at a Baptist college in the USA.

Andrew Gerrow Hodges Chapel

The focal point of the divinity school is the Andrew Gerrow Hodges Chapel, dedicated in 1995 and named in honor of Andrew Gerrow Hodges in 2002. Though an original design, it was inspired by a chapel in Venice designed by Andrea Palladio. The interior of the dome contains paintings of prominent figures from Christian history and was inspired by a passage in chapter 12 of Hebrews. It was painted by a modern Romanian fresco master named Petru Botezatu. The chapel also commemorates one 20th century Christian martyr from each of the six inhabited continents, and the sculptures portraying each of them are also the work of Botezatu.
