Longtime Grace Theological Seminary Professor and accomplished author Dr. Matt Harmon was recently named a fellow of the Gospel Coalition’s Carson Center for Theological Renewal. The center honors the legacy of Dr. D.A. Carson, the luminary biblical scholar whose impact on higher education continues to resound. The Carson Center exists to foster spiritual renewal around the world by providing excellent theological resources for the whole church—for anyone called to teach, and anyone who wants to study the Bible.
“Grace Theological Seminary is delighted that our very own Dr. Matthew Harmon has been invited to become one of only eight fellows representing, guiding and advancing the work of the Carson Center,” said Dr. Freddy Cardoza, vice president of Grace Theological Seminary. “Dr. Harmon’s work will focus on seeking national and international renewal of the truths evangelical believers hold dear. We are deeply grateful that he has been asked to provide his careful exegesis, discerning insight and literary precision to this effort. Our prayer is that the applied scholarship he shares through the center will expand the reach of the transforming truth of Jesus Christ that Dr. Harmon lives, teaches and proclaims.”
Harmon holds a Ph.D. from Wheaton College and an M.Div. from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. Beyond his role as professor of New Testament studies at Grace College and Grace Theological Seminary, he is a prolific writer, authoring commentaries on Galatians, Philippians, 2 Peter, and Jude. He has also written numerous books on biblical theology, including “Rebels and Exiles: A Biblical Theology of Sin and Restoration” and “The Servant of the Lord and His Servant People: Tracing a Biblical Theme through the Canon.”
Harmon joins seven other esteemed biblical scholars on the list of Carson Center Fellows, including G. K. Beale, J. Gary Millar, J. V. Fesko, Mary Willson Hannah, L. Michael Morales, Patrick Schreiner and Brian Tabb.
“As a fellow for the Carson Center, I will be partnering with Ben Gladd, the director of the Carson Center, along with the other fellows, to produce biblical and theological resources for the church,” said Harmon. “These materials will include podcasts, articles, devotionals and even some book-length projects. With the continued rise of biblical illiteracy in the church and in our culture, I am thrilled to be part of the Carson Center’s efforts to help the global church experience theological renewal.”
