Biography

John Carpenter received his BA in religion and English at Samford University (Alabama). He has an MDiv (Fuller) and a ThM in systematic theology (TEDS), and he earned a ThM and PhD in church history from Lutheran School of Theology. He taught at overseas colleges for seven years and was a teaching assistant for Robert Fogel, a Nobel laureate at the University of Chicago.

John pastors a church in Providence, North Carolina, and became aware of the need for theological and biblical scholarship to bolster the case for old-earth creationism when he realized a paucity of such sources existed. He sought to do his part to fill that need by writing an article in the Journal of Biblical and Theological Studies titled, “The Beginning of Days: A Response to Jeremy Lyon’s ‘Genesis 1:1–3 and the Literary Boundary of Day One.’”
