Clyde C. Coger, Jr. is a native of Dallas, Texas, where he attended El Centro Jr. College and the University of Texas at Arlington, studying philosophy and liberal arts. He says about his pursuit of a degree, "The study of philosophy was exciting, but it was missing something, something profound, something divine. It was the distance from God, brought about from the study of this discipline, which sent me on a journey exploring religion."
He settled in Memphis, Tennessee, where his Home Bible Study group began, which later evolved into Profound Eminent Word Teaching Ministries. The Teaching Ministry offers a comprehensive curriculum: ABCs of the Bible: For Adults.
Profound Eminent Word (PEW) Teaching Ministries is a classical apologetics ministry designed to defend biblical truths and equip believers/nonbelievers alike with answers to questions and struggles experienced in today's culture. Mr. Coger considers himself a teacher and a "man of the pew," believing that his work reflects the message conveyed in Daniel 12:3-4
"And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal up the book, even to the end of time: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased."
