Plenary Speaker:
Dr. Kevin Chen is Professor of Old Testament at Gateway Seminary in Ontario, CA. He holds a Ph.D. in biblical studies from Gateway Seminary. His M.Div. is from Western Seminary, where he has also served as an adjunct instructor. His academic training and main research interests focus on the Pentateuch, intertextuality, Old Testament theology, and Daniel. He is the author of several books, including Daniel in the Asia Bible Commentary Series (Langham, 2025); Wonders from Your Law: Nexus Passages and the Promise of an Exegetical Intertextual Old Testament Theology (IVP Academic, 2024); and The Messianic Vision of the Pentateuch (IVP Academic, 2019).
Before joining the Gateway faculty in 2024, Dr. Chen taught for five years at Christian Witness Theological Seminary, a Chinese seminary in San Jose, CA. Before that, he taught for nine years at Union University in Jackson, TN. His prior teaching experience in a Christian liberal arts university and a Chinese seminary have resulted in additional interests, such as the integration of faith and learning as well as Chinese theological education. A native of San Jose, CA, Kevin was an electrical engineer in Silicon Valley for three years before quitting to pursue seminary studies full-time. He is married to Joyce, and they have one daughter and one son.
