Dr. Lawrence Taylor
I have been in the teaching ministry for almost 40 years. I received a B.A. degree from Philadelphia College of the Bible, a Master of Theology and a Masters of Scared Theology from General Theological Seminary of the Episcopal Church. My Masters of Scared Theology in the New Testament was done at Union Theological Seminary under the late New Testament scholar, Robin Scroggs. I also received a Doctor of Ministry from New York Theological Seminary. Prior to my studies at Philadelphia College of the Bible, I studied history at Brooklyn College with a minor in Classical Greek. The professors at Brooklyn College also allowed me to study the Greek of the Church Fathers, especially the works of Athanasius. My studies afforded me the opportunity to translate from Greek to English some of the works of Athanasius, especially the long sections on the Arian Controversy.
I have been at New York School of the Bible for 38 years, teaching a variety of Biblical and ministry subjects. I taught New Testament Greek at New York Divinity School and Seminary of the East. I have served as Pastor of Kenilworth Baptist Church since 1997 to the present. God called me to teach His word. My ministry has been a teaching ministry and this new initiative (LTM) will help me reach more people with the word of God.
