Life

Köstenberger was born on November 2, 1957, in Vienna, Austria,[1] where he was raised in the Roman Catholic Church.[2] As a young man, Köstenberger converted to Evangelicalism.[3] He holds a doctorate from the Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien (the Vienna University of Economics and Business).

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.[4] 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.[5]

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 is currently Senior Research Professor of New Testament and Biblical Theology.[6] At SEBTS he has served as director of Ph.D. studies and won a "Presidential Appreciation Award" for outstanding contribution in academic achievement in 2002.

He is editor of the Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society (JETS)[7] and founder of Biblical Foundations, an organization that "exists to strengthen the biblical foundations of the family, the church, and society."[8]

Köstenberger met his wife, Margaret (Marny) Gerrard, while at Columbia Bible College and Graduate School of Missions. They were married on December 2, 1989 and have four children.
