David Swincer

BACKGROUND, TRAINING

Rev Dr David A Swincer is an ordained Baptist Minister, having served almost 40 years in pastoral ministry, including 13 years as a seminary professor.

He specialized in New Testament – especially Greek exegesis. He also lectured widely in other areas, including OT exegesis, Modern Church History, overview of theology, and a special emphasis in pastoral subjects (including writing several papers on associated topics, notably a Pre-marriage Counseling Course; Marriage Enrichment; Conflict resolution).

He pursued strong personal interest in the nature and practice of worship.

A pastor at heart, Dr Swincer loved to see the practical side of careful exegesis and theological education.

During this time he undertook M.A. and Doctoral studies.

His whole ministry has been marked by a willingness to think laterally, and to challenge common presuppositions, in the search for the truth. His books strongly challenge traditional positions that seem to be held unthinkingly. That will be a challenge to the reader!
