Dr. Carl P. Cosaert is an associate professor of Biblical Studies at Walla Walla University. He has a passion for helping others understand the wonderful news of what God has done for the human race in Christ. A graduate from Union College, his desire to better understand Scripture has led him to complete two masters degrees and a doctorate in New Testament and Early Christianity at the University of North Carolina. He has been teaching in the School of Theology at Walla Walla College for six years. Before earning his Ph.D., he served as a pastor for ten years in the Midwest. The combination of his experience as an ordained Adventist minister and his diverse academic background provides him with a rich perspective for his classes. He enjoys preaching and is the author of a number of published works. His most recent work has just been released by the Review and is entitled, "Galatians: A Fiery Response to a Struggling Church." The book accompanies the upcoming Sabbath School Lesson Quarterly on Galatians coming out this fall, of which he is also  the primary contributor.

His wife, Carol, is an elementary school teacher who loves working with kids. They have four teenagers. Marissa, McKenzie, and  Matthew. Their oldest daughter Mindy is deceased.
