Rev. Dr. Chris Caughey is new to Lutheranism from the confessional Reformed world. He is serving his first call to a dual parish in rural Kentucky. He has taught church history for ALTS, and hopes to branch out into the field of biblical theology. He has taught a variety of courses at the undergraduate level, ranging from U.S. History and English, to Greek, Hebrew, NT Survey, Gospel of John, Church History, and Christ in the Old Testament. Though his dissertation was on six different puritans and the way they understood the Mosaic covenant, he is probably finished with puritans for a while. He has much to learn and explore about the history of Lutheranism, and when he has a sense of his new research interests, he will gladly let us know. His first love continues to be biblical theology, and he is fascinated by philosophy. He has also been a member of the Society of Biblical Literature and the Evangelical Theological Society.
