About the Author

William G. Justice, D.Min., D.Phil., D.Litt., has authored twenty-eight books and over 200 articles. He has taught the Bible for fifty years, having begun while a Piloting B-29 bombers for the U. S. Air Force during the Korean War. While serving for thirty-one years as a professional hospital chaplain, he became licensed as a Professional Counselor, and as a Marriage and Family Therapist, and has taught off-campus extension courses to candidates for Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral degrees for eleven colleges, universities, theological seminaries, and graduate schools. For fifteen years, he served as the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Oxford Society of Scholars of Oxford Graduate School. Although retired, he continues as a Distinguished Professor, having taught, for several years, an historical course on the improving influence of Christianity on every society into which Christianity has been integrated.
Although he has never questioned his call to serve as a hospital chaplain, he has never clearly understood whether our Lord has called him to be a preaching teacher or a teaching preacher. Since he has retired from the hospital ministry, when not in the pulpit or the classroom, he teaches, and sometimes preaches, through his finger-tips at his computer while writing with the hope and prayer that his readers will be blessed by his writing.
At the age of 82, he now lives and thrives with his beloved wife in Powell, a suburb of Knoxville, TN.
