Greg Forster

Affiliate Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology

Greg Forster is the director of the Oikonomia Network at the Center for Transformational Churches, and assistant professor in the systematic theology department at Trinity. He is the author of nine books and editor of six books. His primary scholarly interest is studying how the structures of culture and civilization (family, work, education, business, politics, etc.) respond to the challenge of the gospel and the ambiguous tensions of religious freedom, in order to equip the church to be good citizens of both the Kingdom of God and our human communities.
