I am a career Bible scholar, teacher, and author, with three seminary degrees. My Ph.D. is from Dallas Theological Seminary. My current projects include:
- I published an 8-volume Interpretive Guide to the Bible in 2014. The first three volumes have been revised and translated into Spanish. I plan to do a revision of the final five volumes and publish Spanish translations for all of the volumes.
- I am writing what I believe is a groundbreaking commentary on the book of Revelation. See this information sheet and these sample draft chapters: Introduction, 1, 4, 5, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, Excursus on Babylon the Great, 17, 18, 19, 20.
- I am involved in church ministry; my preaching and teaching is now mostly in Spanish.
- As time allows, I write new blog posts and also respond to comments and update previously published articles. My most popular blog articles are:
- I am working with a team of scholars to create the Photo Companion to the Bible for BiblePlaces.com; this is a project that I began with Todd Bolen in 2014.
- I am conducting continuing research on Darius the Mede, who was the subject of my PhD dissertation (Dallas Theological Seminary, 2014).
- I do volunteer work for Bibles International and teach Bible and biblical language courses as an adjunct professor when I am able. Places where I have taught in the past include Capital Bible Seminary, Jordan Evangelical Theological Seminary, Seminario Teológico Evangélico Gozo Eterno, and Washington Bible College.
- I do freelance editing of books, dissertations, and articles in the area of biblical studies.
My undergraduate degree is in Political Science, and my sister works in the news business, which gives me an interest in current events and their relation to the Bible.
My aim in this blog is to share insights from my studies, as well as to try to give a biblical Christian perspective on current events.

I am reading your book Darius the Mede: A Reappraisal
Since the historian differ in existent of Darius and some mention him the others not it seems to me Darius is actually a title of the Mede’s king not the name therefore some used his title instead of the king’s name.
I would like to know who are the Medes today in Iran are they the Kurd?
Thanks

Hi Azad,
There has been a lot of intermixing of peoples in Iran during the 2,500 years since the Medes ruled an empire, so I don’t think that any particular modern ethnic group can be identified with the ancient Medes. Probably many Medes were assimilated by the Persians during the Achaemenid period, and probably many people in the area of northwestern Iran have some Median ancestry. The question of whether the Kurds are the Medes is particularly difficult, since it is connected to Kurdish nationalism and the question of Kurdish statehood. Personally, I think that the question of whether the Kurds should have their own state is best separated from the question of whether they are the Medes. I’m not an expert on Iranian languages, but from what I have read most experts think that the language the Kurds speak is not derived from the ancient Median language, although it is in the same language family. Probably there were a number of ancient people groups that were assimilated into the people who are known today as the Kurds.
