Carl P. Cosaert

(B.A. Union College (1989); M.Div., Andrews University (1993); M.A. Nazarene Theological Seminary (2000); Ph.D. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, New Testament and Early Christianity (2005))

Dr. Cosaert joined the School of Theology faculty in July 2005. He is a graduate of Union College and Andrews University. He served as a pastor in the Midwest for nearly ten years before moving to North Carolina to work on his doctorate. He earned his Ph.D. in the field of New Testament and Early Christianity with an emphasis in the transmission history of the Greek New Testament.

While working on his doctorate, he had the unique experience of not only teaching New Testament courses at the University of North Carolina and Duke University, but also teaching college writing courses as well.

His passion for understanding the Bible has made him an avid reader and even prompted him to acquire a second Masters Degree from the Nazarene Theological Seminary, while he was pastoring in the Kansas City metro area. The combination of his experience as an ordained minister and his diverse academic background provides him with a rich perspective for his classes.

His wife, Carol, teaches third and fourth grade at Rogers Adventist School. They have four children. Marissa, McKenzie, and Matthew attend Walla Walla Valley Academy and Rogers Adventist School. Their oldest daughter Mindy is deceased.
