Eric Foster-Whiddon is a former pastor and entrepreneur turned teacher, academic, and author from Moultrie, Georgia. He enjoys guitars, vinyl records, old books, ancient languages, and taking long, backcountry walks with his friends. He currently resides in St. Andrews, Scotland, with his wife and children.
“I relocated with my wife and three teenage children from our hometown in rural southern Georgia (USA) to pursue postgraduate studies in New Testament at the University of Cambridge and the University of St. Andrews. A second-career scholar (or third, but who’s counting?), I returned to the academy after a decade in pastoral ministry and almost another decade in entrepreneurship. I hold a BA in Christian Ministries from Emmanuel College (Franklin Springs GA), an MDiv from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (Jacksonville FL, summa cum laude), and MPhil from Peterhouse (Cambridge, first class). I am a PhD candidate at the University of St. Andrews researching the Gospel of John. My professional goal is to serve the Church through research, writing, and teaching those in preparation for Christian pastoral ministry. I also enjoy writing about backpacking, entrepreneurship, and Christian faith.”
