Daniel M. Doriani

Dan Doriani has been a pastor for about 12 years and a professor for about 18 years; right now he does both, although he is mostly a pastor. He was an ordinary professor at a small college and a professor and academic vice president at a large seminary. Long ago, he pastored a very small church in a small town; now he pastors a very large church in a big city. So he has had some humbler jobs and some nobler jobs. Dan loves to teach. He has good content and good stories; some of them are funny. A counselor once told him to consider a career in stand-up comedy, but he’s not that funny. Dr. Daniel M. Doriani is Senior Pastor of Central Presbyterian Church. Central is an historic congregation of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. A congregation with 1,700 members, it is located in the heart of the business, art, and university district of Clayton, Missouri, in metropolitan St. Louis. Prior to his return to the pastorate, Dr. Doriani served as Dean of the Faculty, Vice President of Academics, and Professor of New Testament at Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis from 1991 to 2003.
