My name is Timothy Paul Jones, and I love living with my wife and four daughters in the city of Louisville. Over the past three decades, I’ve had the privilege of leading several congregations as a pastor and in associate ministry roles. Now, I serve as a professor at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and as a pastor at the Midtown congregation of Sojourn Church. I’ve written or contributed to more than a dozen books in the fields of apologetics and family ministry. A few of these texts include the award-winning How We Got the Bible, Christian History Made Easy, and In Church as It Is in Heaven. My work in the field of apologetics has focused on the psychology of faith, the reliability of the New Testament Gospels, and the role of the church as a living defense of the Christian faith.

I have earned a bachelor’s degree in biblical studies and a master of divinity, as well as a Ph.D. in educational leadership from Southern Seminary and a Ph.D. in church history from Stellenbosch University.

I enjoy hikes with my family, Fender guitars, single-origin coffees, scalding hot summers, big cities, subways, white-sand beaches, and Major League Baseball.
