Dr. Daniel M. Doriani

Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology

Daniel Doriani is Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology at Covenant Seminary. He was Academic Dean or Vice President at Covenant for fifteen years, while teaching nearly a full load. He pastored a very small church for five years after graduating and left academia in 2003 to pastor a very large church for eleven years. While a professor, he has been an interim pastor on seven occasions, and he frequently speaks at conferences. He earned his MDiv and PhD at Westminster Seminary. He earned a Masters at Yale University, where he was also a research fellow in 1981 and 1995. He is on the seven-man executive team for The Gospel Coalition and has a role with Reformation 21 for the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals. He blogs for both ministries and helped launch the St. Louis chapter of TGC.

Dan has authored or co-authored about twenty books. Two facilitate interpretation and application of Scripture, Getting the Message and Putting the Truth to Work: The Theory and Practice of Biblical Application. Seven are commentaries: 1-2 Samuel (life of David), Matthew (twice), James, 1 Peter, and 2 Timothy. Others explore biblical ethics, gender roles, biblical manhood, work, and the physical body (forthcoming). His books Work: Its Purpose, Dignity, and Transformation and Work That Makes a Difference, led him to become the founder and director of the Center for Faith and Work, in St. Louis. Its podcast, “Working, with Dan Doriani,” interviews people who change their corner of the world through their work. He published a commentary on Romans in February 2022, and Getting the Message, second edition, will be published in fall 2022. He is currently working on a multi-author commentary on Proverbs and a theology of the body.
