Dr. Ken Cukrowski, Dean of the College of Biblical Studies, announced the appointment of Dr. Mark Hamilton as the new Onstead Chair. Mark brings a record of success as a scholar, teacher, administrator, and churchman. His recent appointment as the Gitin Distinguished Professor at the Albright Institute is a testament to his stature in the scholarly community. His two-time selection as Outstanding Faculty member in the College of Biblical Studies attests to the esteem in which he is held by our faculty. Mark currently serves as an elder at the University Church of Christ and consults widely in congregations across the country.

The committee was especially impressed with Mark’s vision for the Onstead Chair. In addition to a vigorous research agenda, Mark looks forward to connecting faculty, students, the ACU community, and churches to the best scholarship on Scripture and biblical theology.

Congratulations!
