About the Author

My name is Garrett Best. I am originally from Gardendale, AL. I am married to Robin, and we have been blessed with two incredible children. In 2022, I was appointed Chair of the Bible Department at York University in York, Nebraska. My favorite activities include gardening, playing pickleball, and camping with my family.

I graduated from Freed-Hardeman University with a BA in Spanish and Bible in 2010, and I finished my Master of Divinity degree at the Harding School of Theology in 2014. In 2015, I was accepted to the PhD program in Biblical Studies at Asbury Theological Seminary. My PhD focused on the New Testament, and I developed an interest in the book of Revelation. My dissertation focused on the irregular Greek grammar of Revelation. I finished my PhD in 2021.

I enjoy researching, writing, and teaching the Bible. I have several book reviews and articles published in international journals, and I have presented papers at numerous academic conferences. However, my real passion is bridging the academy and the church. I believe God has called me to a ministry of study that seeks to make the deep truths of the Scriptures understandable and relevant to the lives of God’s people.
