Andreas Johannes Köstenberger (born November 2, 1957), is Research Professor at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.[1][2] Until 2018, he was Senior Research Professor of New Testament and Biblical Theology at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (SEBTS) in Wake Forest, North Carolina. His primary research interests are the Gospel of John, biblical theology, and hermeneutics.

Life

Köstenberger was born on November 2, 1957, in Vienna, Austria,[3] where he was raised in the Roman Catholic Church.[4] As a young man, Köstenberger converted to Evangelicalism.[5]

At the age of twenty-seven, Köstenberger left Austria for the United States to pursue theological studies at Columbia Bible College and Graduate School of Missions.[6] In 1990 Köstenberger began doctoral studies at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School under D. A. Carson, submitting his dissertation on the mission motif in the Gospel of John in 1993.[7]

Köstenberger then taught at Briercrest Bible College for two years, returned to Trinity for a one-year teaching position to cover for D. A. Carson while he was on sabbatical (during which time, in 1996, Köstenberger received an "Award for Scholarly Productivity" from Trinity), and then took a teaching position at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (SEBTS) in 1996, where he was Senior Research Professor of New Testament and Biblical Theology.[8]

He was for 22 years editor of the Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society[9][10] and founder of Biblical Foundations, an organization that "exists to strengthen the biblical foundations of the family, the church, and society."[11]

Plagiarism

In 2017 Köstenberger's commentary on John in the Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament was pulped for plagiarism [12] from Carson's Pillar commentary on John. Subsequently Zondervan also withdrew his John entry in the Zondervan Illustrated Bible Commentary: New Testament series.[13]
