Four of our professors have agreed to contribute to a blog for your enjoyment—about things they're interested in and (we hope) about things you're interested in. Check back every month for updates!

Danny Gamache

Danny and his wife, Darla, are both faculty at Briercrest College and Seminary. Danny is an avid sports fan, and he has been to four Olympic Games with Athletes in Action.

Danny owns his own marketing and consulting business, which he runs part-time around his teaching schedule. He has been in business since he was a child, where he started off by selling used golf balls. He has also run a number of different businesses and spent time in retail management.

David Guretzki

David mainly teaches theology at Briercrest College and Seminary. Previously, he served as an Assistant Pastor in Lacombe, Alta., for three years.

David’s theological interests are diverse, though his research and writing has focused on the doctrines of the Trinity and the church, the theology of forgiveness and reconciliation, and the theology of Karl Barth. His B.R.E. and M.A. (Historical Theology) are both from Briercrest College and Seminary. He completed a Ph.D. from McGill University in 2006. He also serves as a board member of the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, and is the co-author of the Pocket Dictionary of Theology Terms and a forthcoming book on Trinitarian theology with InterVarsity Press.

David, his wife, Maureen, and their three children have been in Caronport since 1993.

David Miller

David completed a Ph.D. in Religious Studies at McMaster University in 2004, the same year he began teaching at Briercrest College and Seminary. As a scholar and a teacher, David’s priorities are studying the New Testament in its first-century Jewish and Greco-Roman context and learning with students what it means to hear and respond to the Bible’s address to us today.

Growing up in Kenya as a child of missionary parents gave David a love for international travel. He and Tenyia were married on a semester break during a year of study in Israel, and they recently spent a vacation visiting archaeological sites in Turkey. David returned to Israel in 2009 as one of the leaders of Briercrest College and Seminary’s first Israel Study Tour.

In his free time, David enjoys hiking, playing with his daughter Shoshana, and reading in his back yard under the amazing Saskatchewan sky.

Eric Ortlund

Eric, his wife, Erin, and their two children, Kate and Will, moved to Caronport in July 2006. He worked on an M.Div. at Trinity Evangelical Divinity Seminary in Chicago for two years and served as a youth pastor in a local Presbyterian church before sensing God’s call to study the Old Testament. His interests focus in Isaiah and the Psalms, but he loves studying and teaching any part of the Hebrew Bible as well as the OT's Ancient Near Eastern environment, the history of interpretation, and the Hebrew language.
