Dennis Jowers is Research Professor of Theology and Apologetics at Faith International University in Tacoma, Washington, USA. An expert in the doctrine of God and ecumenical theology, Jowers teaches classes in theology, apologetics, Greek, Hebrew, and biblical studies at FIU, where he has taught since he completed his PhD in Systematic Theology at New College, Edinburgh in 2004. From August of 2004 until September of 2024, Jowers also served as an Associate Pastor ministering to the English-speaking youth of the Korean Peace Presbyterian Church (KAPC) of Seattle. He is the author of The Trinitarian Axiom of Karl Rahner: The Economic Trinity is the Immanent Trinity and Vice Versa (Lewiston, NY: Edwin Mellen, 2006) and the co-author with H. Wayne House of Reasons for Our Hope: An Introduction to Christian Apologetics (Nashville, TN: B&H Academic, 2012). In addition to editing Four Views of Divine Providence (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2011) and co-editing The New Evangelical Subordinationism: Perspectives on the Equality of God the Father and God the Son (Eugene, OR: Pickwick, 2012), he has contributed chapters to four collected volumes and published articles in the Scottish Journal of Theology, The Thomist, the Heythrop Journal, the Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society, the Tyndale Bulletin, the Reformed Theological Review, and Studia Oecumenica. Jowers has also contributed dozens of articles to encyclopedias such as the Encyclopedia of the Bible and Its Reception, the Encyclopedia of Christianity in the United States, and the ABC-Clio World History Encyclopedia. Jowers is the founder and chairman of the Evangelical Theological Society’s Models of God Study Group, which he has led since its inception in 2008. He served as President of the Northwestern region of the Evangelical Theological Society in 2013 and since 2022 has served as the co-chair of the evangelical caucus in the USCCB-sponsored Evangelical-Catholic dialogue held annually at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN. Jowers’s wife Judy, who holds an EdD from Liberty University and has conducted research into reflective practice in online theological education, is Associate Professor of Education at Faith International University and Dean of Faith’s School of Education.
