Timothy P. Henderson, Ph.D., has been teaching Bible, theology, Church history, and Greek for 12 years. In addition to teaching at Northwestern, he has taught at other universities in Minnesota and in local churches.

Dr. Henderson’s teaching and research interests include the Gospels, Paul’s letters, the relationship between early Christians and non-Christians – and how this might inform the Church today, the development of the New Testament canon, second-century Christianity, and the many ways in which Scripture has been interpreted throughout the history of the Church.

He lives in the Twin Cities with his wife and two sons, and the entire family loves the outdoors, especially hiking and fishing. His remaining free time is spent as an avid sports fan, movie viewer, and reader of novels.
