Dr. Darian Lockett is an Assistant Professor of Biblical and Theological Studies.

The overarching goal of a specifically Christian liberal arts education, in a word, is wisdom. It is Dr. Lockett's desire to display godly wisdom in teaching, writing, and service, in order to serve the church of Jesus Christ by equipping individuals for life and ministry. Dr Lockett is particularly interested in the General Letters, hermeneutics, theological interpretation, and political/economic philosophies and Scripture. He is the author of Purity and Worldview in the Epistle of James (forthcoming 2008) and has contributed chapters on James to Cosmology and New Testament Theology and Reading James with New Eyes: Methodological Reassessments of the Letter of James. Dr. Lockett has also contributed to Tyndale Bulletin and has published several reviews in Scottish Journal of Theology, Review of Biblical Literature, Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society, and Midwestern Journal of Theology. He enjoys spending time with his family, playing guitar, reading great literature, and watching college basketball (especially the Kansas Jayhawks!).
