Rev. Randal E. Pelton, Ph.D., D.Min., Th.M.
Since 2003 I have been Senior Pastor of Calvary Bible Church in Mount Joy, PA. I also serve as Adjunct Professor at Lancaster Bible College|Capital Seminary & Graduate School and as Mentor and Guest Lecturer to Doctor of Ministry students in Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary’s tracks, Preaching the Literary Forms of the Bible and From the Study to Pulpit. My hometown is Weeks Mills, Maine. I enjoy weightlifting and fitness, riding motorcycles, playing the cello, bow ties, and research in OT hermeneutics. I have written, Preaching With Accuracy (Kregel) and A Preacher’s Manifesto (Amazon).
This website is designed to help pastors preach with greater accuracy by connecting Christ-centered hermeneutics to homiletics. My main approach will be to pass along insights I’m learning in my current preaching series. So, for instance, if you’re planning to preach in Isaiah, you’ll find posts pertaining to my entire Isaiah series. Also, my moonlighting ministry as a professor forces me to continue to read aggressively. I will try to relay information I’m learning from my classroom preparation and interaction with pastor/scholars. You can expect to see posts dealing with:
• Christo-centric hermeneutic
• Theology of Preaching
• Genre-generated theology and application
