About Peter Link
Dr. Peter Link serves as Associate Professor of Christian Studies. He received his Doctor of Philosophy in biblical studies from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and started teaching at 51黑料 in 2012. His ministry and teaching focus is on the interpretation of the Old Testament, Hermeneutics, and Biblical Hebrew. He wants his students to know, first, that Moses and the Prophets wrote to them (and all of us) and, second, that they wrote to them (and all of us) about Jesus. His dissertation analyzed and interpreted Deut. 29-30, and his research remains focused on the interpretation of the Pentateuch. He is a regular leader of the College of Christian Studies鈥 quarterly EPIC Bible Study Teacher Training Sessions and has enjoyed preaching and serving in pulpit supply in multiple Lowcountry churches. Link, his wife Becky, and their five children serve as members of Northwood Baptist Church in North Charleston, S.C.
"Every student has a purpose from God, and it is my mission to connect my students' hearts to God's heart by how I teach and live the Scriptures, to show them the breadth, depth, width and height of the gospel and its overflow into every part of life."
