This is GREAT news for Biola. Dr. Goodrich is a massive asset to any theological school and one heck of a colleague.
Jun 4
NEW to the @TalbotTheology team.
I’m delighted to share that Dr. John Goodrich will be joining our team as the new Associate Dean for our undergraduate programs.
Dr. Goodrich grew up in Orange County and earned his bachelor’s degree in Bible and Theology from Moody Bible Institute. He later completed both the Master of Divinity and Master of Theology degrees at Talbot School of Theology while serving as a staff pastor in Southern California churches. He went on to earn a PhD in New Testament Studies from Durham University in the United Kingdom.
Following his doctoral studies, Dr. Goodrich served for fourteen years on the faculty of Moody Bible Institute. Since January 2025, he has served as Dean of Academics and Professor of Biblical Studies at Compass Bible Institute in Aliso Viejo, California.
He is a member of the Evangelical Theological Society, the Society of Biblical Literature, and the Society for New Testament Studies. He is also the author or editor of numerous books and scholarly articles.
Welcome, John, to Talbot!
More faculty announcements coming!

If a woman speaks to a crowd of pastors, is it evidence of her teaching men?
Or is it only “teaching” if she uses Scripture?
Or is it only wrong if she explains Scripture, and in that case, does it suddenly become “preaching” regardless of the setting?
Or is it only preaching if there’s a pulpit involved? A Sunday morning service? A title?
Meanwhile, the same movement insisting women must never “teach men” somehow has no issue platforming women like Megan Basham to address rooms full of male pastors when it serves their cultural or political priorities.
So apparently a woman can instruct, influence, warn, persuade, and shape the thinking of men… as long as everybody agrees not to call it “teaching.”
She can serve, sweat, pray, and deliver the same exact message about Jesus as any man she knows- as long as we don’t call her a pastor.
If this doesn’t feel like God’s heart, I suspect it’s because we all pretty much know it’s not.

The worst part of Covid was that 20 million people died

One of the worst parts of COVID was watching Americans surrender their God-given freedoms to bureaucrats who were wrong about everything.

"The same God of heaven is the same God of earth." The Gospel has a transformative effect on things in this life like relationships, money, race, sports, arts, and more. Hear @eng_Scrptr unpack this on @RawTheology with @PrestonSprinkle.

Ik ben eigenlijk best fan van het werk van Nijay K. Gupta. Maar ik vraag me af wie er nu werkelijk leert dat christenzijn er alleen maar draait om in de hemel te komen.
Zowel in evangelische als in reformatorische kring doet het er toe het aardse bestaan er wel degelijk toe.

Theologian Nijay K. Gupta’s new book argues that the goal of the Christian life is not to “go up.”

@eng_Scrptr and I wrote our first children's book, and it's coming this fall! Pre-orders are HOT today. How many 8-12 year olds do you know who need help seeing where women fit in God's story? This was a JOY to write. Can't wait to share it with you! @ivpress

My husband and I have been loyal @Delta customers for over a decade. Diamond. Platinum. -- you name it. They have a lot of our money. But today we quit.
Delta destroyed our property. We filed a claim. We sent every receipt, every photo, every document they demanded. We waited, were strung along. It's all a game.
Then came the letter. It said our evidence — the evidence *they asked for* — "casts doubt."
So we were told, in legalese, to fck off. Let's be clear about what this is: Delta broke our property. Delta made us chase them. Delta strung us along to waste our time, and our money. Because Delta does not give a single fck.
This is what this country has come to. Greed disguised as loyalty programs, while charging us for the privilege of being a "valued customer." While they laugh at us and their executives receive hundreds of millions in bonuses at our expense.
Figure out whose business you actually want, @Delta. Because you just made that decision for us.

Religião Estranha, do amigo @eng_Scrptr, é o tipo de livro (existem muitos) que respondem bem à fala preconceituosa de Luana Piovani. O evangélico é o que existe de pior na sociedade? Se ele for parecido com a proposta do NT, não. Às vezes, a proposta é um pouco esquisita.
