Dr. Collin Cornell
Presented by: Collin Cornell, PhD — Arthur F. Glasser Associate Professor of Bible and Mission, School of Mission and Theology, Fuller Seminary
Dr. Cornell will review his latest book, God Draws Near: Rethinking the Biblical Theology of Mission.
Dr. Collin Cornell joined the faculty of Fuller Seminary in 2023. Collin is appointed to Fuller's Houston, Texas campus, where he teaches classes in Old Testament and missiology. Collin's research focuses on the contributions of the Old Testament— especially themes of blessing, delight, and communion—to discussions about God’s mission. Collin also writes about the Psalms and the Tabernacle texts in the book of Exodus.
Collin and his family are members at Mosaic Village Church, a New Worshipping Community in the Presbytery of New Covenant.
Adult Bible Study | Room 204
