Michael Kuykendall

I am a professor of New Testament studies at Gateway Seminary. I teach at the seminary's Pacific Northwest campus in Vancouver, Washington. My research interests include Bible translation, history of the English Bible, Baptist history, and apocalyptic literature, especially the Book of Revelation. I have published fifty articles on all these interests in Baptist History & Heritage Journal, Bible Review Journal, Pneuma, Theological Librarianship, SBCLIFE, Explore the Bible, Lexham Bible Dictionary, and Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society.

My book on Revelation is titled Lions, Locusts, and Lamb (Eugene, OR: Wipf & Stock, 2019). I catalog 300 of Revelation's symbols, allowing competing viewpoints to have their say. My hope is for busy pastors and interested Bible students to have a handy guide into what the choices are on Revelation's many images.

I also contributed two chapters with Jim L. Wilson, R. Gregg Watson, Michael Kuykendall, and David Johnson, Impact Preaching: A Case for the One-Point Expository Sermon (Marlton, NJ: Lexham Press, 2018) and I am the coauthor of Slayden Yarbrough and Michael Kuykendall, Southern Baptists: A History of a Confessional People (Jefferson, NC: McFarland Books, 2021). And I published a novel under my pen name: T. K. Micaiah, On the Banks of the Jordan (Parker, CO: Outskirts Press, 2008).

I serve as the editor of Bible Review Journal and the president of the Northwest Baptist Historical Society. My hobbies include reading novels, watching old movies, collecting old Bibles, and anything about baseball. I am married to Terri. We have three daughters and six grandchildren.
