Dr. Wolfe’s current interests are consumed with his production of the New American Commentary v.31 on Ephesians and his duties as host of Laus Deo, a weekly live radio program on Sirus 161. His several published articles reflect research interests in the Pastoral Epistles, the Petrine Epistles, and various avenues of New Testament Theology and Hermeneutics. Woven throughout all of his work is an abiding interest in classical spiritual theology.

Dr. Wolfe was pastor of Ellon Baptist Church in Ellon, Scotland during Ph.D. studies and has served as resident theologian on the staff of two other churches. He is a New Testament consulting editor for the New American Commentary series, and is a member of the Board of Directors and superintendent for the International Reference Library for Biblical Research.
