Grand Rapids, MI—Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary (“PRTS”) today announced the appointment of Dr. Maarten Kuivenhoven as Professor of Biblical Studies.

Joel R. Beeke, President of PRTS comments, “I am pleased to announce that Dr. Maarten Kuivenhoven has accepted the appointment to the position of Professor of Biblical Studies. Dr. Kuivenhoven will assume his new role on August 1, 2022. Presently, he serves as a pastor of the Heritage Reformed Congregation, in Grand Rapids. He graduated from Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary and was ordained to gospel ministry in February 2010. Since then, he has served the Heritage Reformed Congregation of Grand Rapids while continuing his studies and completed his doctoral dissertation on the interpretation of the Messianic Psalms in the Reformation, and post-Reformation focusing on the commentaries of Wolfgang Musculus, William Ames, Johannes Cocceius and Matthew Henry (Calvin Theological Seminary, 2020). He and his wife Jennifer are blessed with five children: Gwyneth, Justus, Judah, Jared, and Silas. I am truly grateful for the support of the Heritage Reformed Church of Burgessville, Ontario calling Maarten to this position, as decided at the last Heritage Reformed Synod in June. I trust that, by God’s grace, this appointment of Dr. Kuivenhoven solidifies the position of PRTS for biblical, Reformed, experiential, and practical theological education.”
