Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary (“PRTS”) today announced the appointment of Dr. Tom Schwanda as Scholar-in-Residence.
Dr. Joel R. Beeke, President of Puritan Reformed, comments, “I am pleased and honored to announce that Dr. Schwanda, professor emeritus of Wheaton College Graduate School, has accepted the appointment of Scholar-in-Residence. Dr. Schwanda’s research and writing has been largely focused on Puritanism and Puritan piety and spirituality. The newly established scholar-in-residence program enhances the engagement with the doctoral student community, research, and publication and will be greatly valued at Puritan Reformed. I trust that, by God’s grace, this appointment of Dr. Schwanda solidifies the position of Puritan Reformed for biblical, Reformed, experiential, and practical theological education.” Dr. Schwanda serves on the editorial board for the Studies in Puritanism and Piety journal, and Senior Fellow for Christian Spirituality for the C.S. Lewis Institute, an international discipleship ministry centered in Washington DC.
