ABOUT ME
I’m a grateful child of God, redeemed by his abounding grace through Jesus Christ.
I was born and raised near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. For almost twenty years I worked in pastoral ministry in churches in Canada and Australia. For a collection of my sermons, see here.
I am privileged to serve as the Professor of Ministry and Mission at the Canadian Reformed Theological Seminary in Hamilton, Ontario.
My PhD studies were at St. Mary's University in Twickenham, London, England. I wrote a thesis on the parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man (Luke 16:19-31). It was published as Failure and Prospect in the Library of New Testament Studies. For some of my academic writings, you can visit my Academia.edu page here.
Dr. Reuben Bredenhof
I have written a few books which you may enjoy, including my most recent book, The Ministry of Small Things (P&R, 2026). Follow the links for more information:
My articles have appeared in a range of magazines and websites, including New Testament Studies, Reformed Perspective, Modern Reformation, Clarion, Reformation 21, and at The Gospel Coalition.
Through my research and writing at both popular and scholarly levels, I aim to promote a better understanding of the Christian Scriptures.
My wife Rebecca and I have been blessed with four daughters. I enjoy pounding the pavement on my morning jogs near our home in Hamilton and thinking about where we can put more bookshelves.
