Dr. Andrew J. “Drew” Martin
Associate Professor of Systematic Theology
Dr. Drew Martin joined the faculty as Associate Professor of Systematic Theology in 2022. He has served as a pastor and church planter in the PCA for over 15 years. Prior to Covenant he taught theology and church history at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, Vanderbilt Divinity School, and The School of Theology at Sewanee: The University of the South. He received his BA in Political Science and Psychology from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; his MDiv and MA in Theology from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary; and his PhD from Vanderbilt University where he studied Reformation historical theology and the context of the Westminster Assembly.
Most recently, Dr. Martin co-founded and pastored West Charlotte Church, an intercultural church in the urban center of Charlotte, NC. His current book project grew in part out of that experience. Part of Crossway’s Theologians on the Christian Life series, the book explores the practical ethics of prominent Black American pastor and theologian Francis Grimké and is titled Grimké on the Christian Life.
His previous book, The Covenant with Moses and the Kingdom of God: Thomas Hobbes and the Theology of the Old Covenant in Early Modern England, is part of Brill’s Studies in the History of Christian Traditions series. The book is a revision of Dr. Martin’s PhD research and considers the development of covenant theology in the political context of post-Reformation England.
His work also includes contributions to The Oxford Dictionary of Late Antiquity, the Evangelical Dictionary of Theology, The Oxford Handbook of Reformed Theology, and Richard Hooker and Reformed Orthodoxy.
Dr. Martin is married to Meg, who worked for many years as a school counselor and most recently with Young Lives, a ministry to teen mothers. The Martins have five children.
