Biography:

Dr. Niehaus, who joined Gordon-Conwell in 1982, holds his Ph.D. in English literature. He brings to the study of the Old Testament a broad background in literary studies and extensive research in Ancient Near Eastern milieus.

In addition to teaching, Dr. Niehaus ministers and lectures in various churches on such topics as spiritual warfare and gifts of the Holy Spirit.

He regularly presents papers on higher critical issues and Ancient Near Eastern backgrounds at scholarly conferences, such as the annual Old Testament Lecture at the Tyndale Fellowship in Cambridge, England.

Dr. Niehaus’ scholarly interests include biblical theology and the idea of covenant and covenant schemes in the Bible.

His personal interests include writing poetry, of which he has written two volumes that are currently under revision; classical music, especially that from the Romantic period; and caring for his younger, bipolar son.
