About the Author

Robert Brent Graves holds a multi-major B.S. in Education from the State University of New York and is certified to teach several subjects. He also has a B.S. in New Testament Greek and an M.A. in Biblical Languages from Abilene Christian University in Abilene, Texas. In addition, he has completed the 94-semester-hours-residency requirement of a doctoral program, attaining Ph.D. candidacy in Semitic and Near Eastern Studies from Annenberg Research Institute in Philadelphia, a Jewish institution formerly known as Dropsie College of Hebrew and Cognate studies. Because of administrative restructuring, the institution became a postdoctoral, non-degree-granting research institute while Brent was still writing his dissertation. In 1993 another change took place when the school was incorporated into the University of Pennsylvania under a new department called Center for Judaic Studies: Classical Modern. In the 1960s, he worked with the churches of Christ in Slavic countries behind the Iron Curtain in a Christian publishing ministry based in Vienna, Austria. In the 1970s, he taught in a team-teaching language seminar in Israel with Sarah Rehabi, the daughter of Golda Meir, who was the prime minister of Israel at the time. It was in Jerusalem at a church service in 1973 that he first met his future wife, Hope. More recently, from 1988 to 1999, he spent most of the time as a language instructor in two conservative Muslim countries of the Middle East, primarily in teaching positions sponsored by the United States government. These positions gave him the opportunity to preach the gospel in underground churches. Brent Graves now lives in the United States.
