Richard B. Gardner is a teacher and writer who effectively bridges the worlds of scholarly study of Scripture and Bible study in the local church. An ordained minister of the Church of the Brethren, he has prepared Bible study curriculum and led seminars and workshops both for his own denomination and for the larger church. Gardner did his doctoral work at the University of Wurzburg in Germany, where he received the D. Theol. degree summa cum laude in 1973.
