Matthew L. Skinner, one of the co-hosts of the popular Sermon Brainwave podcast, has served on the Luther Seminary faculty since 2002. He teaches courses there in the master’s degree programs and in the doctor of ministry in biblical preaching program. His research and teaching focus on the Gospels, Acts, the cultural dynamics on display in those writings, and the ways the Bible continues to shape Christian identity among its readers and hearers. His most recent publications include the three-volume work A Companion to the New Testament (2017-2018) and Intrusive God, Disruptive Gospel: Encountering the Divine in the Book of Acts (2015). An ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), Skinner has contributed to numerous print and digital resources to help preachers with biblical interpretation. He teaches frequently at workshops and conferences for church leaders.
