Rev. Jerome David is a PhD candidate in Biblical Studies at Columbia International University (CIU). He holds a BA and an MA in Theology from FEBIAS College of Bible in the Philippines and later earned an MA and a ThM in Hermeneutics from Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. His passion is studying the Scripture within its redemptive-historical framework and proclaiming the whole counsel of God (Acts 20:27) while discipling his family and church community. He is blessed to be married to Rachel. They have two sons, Yosef Theo and Mateo Gresham. He loves spending time and traveling with his family, engaging in gospel conversations, building gospel friendships, and reading the Church Fathers, Puritans, and Reformers.
