Dr. John Currid, Carl W. McMurray Professor of Old Testament Dr. John Currid is a great model for our students. If you are considering a seminary, you might just want to make sure you listen to Dr. Currid first on iTunes U or even better, visit the campus and sit in on one of his classes. A seasoned archeologist, a first rate Old Testament professor, a great preacher, and a compassionate pastor. Dr. Currid has been part of the RTS Faculty for 15 years, serving as both Chair of the Biblical Studies Division in Jackson and Professor of Old Testament in Charlotte. Prior to coming to RTS, he served as Associate Professor of Religion at Grove City College, as Byington Hebrew Teaching Fellow at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and as a member of the faculty at Jerusalem Center for Biblical Studies in Jerusalem, Israel. Dr. Currid serves as Project Director of Bethsaida Excavations Project in Israel (1995-present). He lectures and preaches in many countries including Russia, Ukraine, Great Britain, Australia, and Brazil. He also continues a pastoral ministry in the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church. Most recently Dr. Currid’s work on the Book of Leviticus was highlighted by Marvin Olasky’s article in World Magazine: WORLD's 2009 Book of the Year winner is Crossway's English Standard Version Study Bible. To the accuracy and readability of the ESV, it adds 20,000 notes based on top evangelical scholarship, 80,000 cross-references, 400 maps and charts, and much more, all under the supervision of two splendid theologians, Wayne Grudem and J.I. Packer. While we're not supposed to put God to the test, study Bibles are different—so I road-tested the ESVSB by seeing how it guides readers through one of the hardest of the Bible's 66 books, Leviticus. The third book of Moses is tough because no one today has firsthand experience with the rituals Leviticus commands—and some of us just possibly may not be up to speed on the distinctions among burnt, grain, peace, sin, and guilt offerings. Happily, the ESVSB has a handy chart that shows how everyone was to eat of the peace offering but no one could eat the burnt offering, and so forth. Leviticus, as writers of the notes for the book— John Currid of Reformed Theological Seminary, Nobuyoshi Kiuchi of Tokyo Christian University, and Jay Sklar of Covenant Theological Seminary—point out, is more than the sum of its verses: "Though on the surface Leviticus is a handbook of laws and regulations, it is actually much more than this. Composed as Israel was preparing to become a settled nation in a promised land, the book has affinities with utopian literature. Literary utopias both describe how people live in an ideal society and also offer an explanation of the institutions and practices that produce the society that is pictured. Leviticus outlines how people should live in God's ideal commonwealth." Read the entire article here Some of Dr. Currid’s works include the following: Commentaries on Deuteronomy (Evangelical Press, 2006), Leviticus (Evangelical Press, 2005), Genesis, Vol. 2 (Evangelical Press, 2004), Genesis, Vol. 1 (Evangelical Press, 2003), Exodus, Vol. 2 (Evangelical Press, 2002), Exodus, Vol. 1 (Evangelical Press, 2000); Ancient Egypt and the Old Testament (Baker, 1997); Calvin and the Biblical Languages (Christian Focus, 2006); Why Do I Suffer? Suffering and the Sovereignty of God (Christian Focus, 2004); and various articles published in Banner of Truth, Bible Review, and Biblical Archaeology Review. Check out Dr. Currid’s blog here.
