Craig R. Koester

I’m Craig Koester, the Asher O. and Carrie Nasby Professor of New Testament at Luther Seminary. My writing centers on biblical interpretation, whether I’m producing accessible books for a wide readership or more specialized studies that explore the world of the New Testament. A key to the process is careful listening to the biblical texts and to the questions that readers ask about them. My hope is that my readers will find exploring the New Testament to be engaging and rewarding. Topics vary but a persistent theme is what gives life. I’m married to Nancy Koester, who writes on American religious experience. You can find out more at www.craigkoester.com.
