Why would a professor with two doctorate degrees embark on a 3,901 mile summer cycling journey across America, on a route that took two months and two days to complete? This is the story of Dr. David Gustafson. In the spirit of James 1:22, he wanted to do more than hear, learn, write, and teach about evangelism. He was determined to do evangelism.
Dr. David Gustafson is the author of Gospel Witness Through the Ages: A History of Evangelism (2022). He also wrote Gospel Witness: Evangelism in Word and Deed (2019). He is Chair of the Mission and Evangelism Department at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. His expertise includes evangelism, Evangelical Free Church history, and missional praxis. He earned his Master of Divinity and Master of Theology from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, his Doctor of Ministry from Fuller Theological Seminary, and Doctor of Philosophy from Linköping University. He and his wife, Sharon, have 4 children.
