M e e t t h e F A C u L t Y Coming Home We are pleased to announce rev. Dr. Gregory K. Beale has joined the Westminster faculty as Professor of new testament and Biblical theology and began teaching this academic year (2010-2011). Q: Greg, you taught for four years at Grove City College, 16 years at Gordon-Conwell Seminary, and the last decade you have been at Wheaton College. Why this move to Westminster now? A: “Well, for almost all of my academic career, teaching, i have been at schools that have been non-denominational— yet mainline evangelical—but very diverse within that framework. i have enjoyed that, but i’ve always been very reformed and Calvinistic. [for example] my own eschatology is what i call ‘inaugurated millennialism’ instead of ‘amillenialism’ though ultimately that’s historically the rubric i would fall under. “So this might end up being my last institutional identification, though i hope it lasts a long time, and i really wanted to identify with a school that really does represent my own theological convictions. i especially want to identify with the direction that Westminster is going in with respect to its robust understanding of the inspiration of Scripture, in contrast to recent trends on this matter in other sectors of so-called evangelicalism. “i’ve said a couple of times, in some of the interviews that it’s like coming home theologically for me.” 14 | Westminster Today Winter 2011 education Ba, Southern Methodist University, 1971 Ma, Southern Methodist University, 1976 ThM, Dallas Theological Seminary, 1976 PhD, University of Cambridge, 1981 teaching Guest assistant Professor in the Dept. of Philosophy and Religion, 1980-1982 assistant Professor in the Dept. of Philosophy and Religion, 1983-1984, Grove City College assistant Professor of new Testament, 1984-1986 associate Professor, 1987-1992 Professor, 1992-2000 Director of the Th.M. in Biblical Theology Degree Program, 1992-2000, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary Kenneth T.
