Andreas Johannes Köstenberger (born November 2, 1957) is Research Professor at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
[4] At the age of twenty-seven, Köstenberger left Austria for the United States to pursue theological studies at Columbia Bible College and Graduate School of Missions.
In 1990 Köstenberger began doctoral studies at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School under D. A. Carson, submitting his dissertation on the mission motif in the Gospel of John in 1993.
[5] Köstenberger then taught at Briercrest Bible College for two years, returned to Trinity for a one-year teaching position to cover for D. A. Carson while he was on sabbatical (during which time, in 1996, Köstenberger received an "Award for Scholarly Productivity" from Trinity), and then took a teaching position at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (SEBTS) in 1996, where he was Senior Research Professor of New Testament and Biblical Theology.
[10] Subsequently, Zondervan publishers also retracted their Illustrated Bible Commentary, Volume 2: New Testament series.
