Here are some excerpts for an article I just read yesterday about Matt Harmon. Matt will present, from the OT and NT, a biblical theology of the "people of God" (doctrine: universal priesthood of believers)… For more on Matt just click on his blog link (see on right).
Passing on What God Has Taught Him

Dr. Matt Harman
Dr. Matt Harmon has a great desire to help people see Christ revealed in Scripture and to encourage them to lead others to see Christ.
“It’s sobering,” the Grace Theological Seminary professor says, “knowing they sit in my class, soak up my words, and make conclusions based on what I teach”…
He is one of four facilitators who will lead a discussion about “Guiding Principles for the People of God in a Postmodern World"…
Much of Harmon’s practical experience has come from his involvement in Campus Crusade for Christ, both as a student and then for eight years as a full-time staff member, both at Ohio University in Athens and at Trinity International University in the Chicago area.
As a student, his involvement with Crusade helped him realize how much he enjoyed ministry. “I felt like God was directing and leading me,” he recalls. He found it satisfying to know he was helping to advance the gospel, even in a small way.
“The thrill of passing on what God was teaching me was almost intoxicating, especially when I saw people seeing Christ in new and fresh ways from Scripture,” he recalls…
Harmon teaches Greek and advanced classes on exegesis, focusing particularly on the New Testament books. He will also teach courses on the cultural and literary background of the New Testament."
