Austin Wright earned his B.S. in Secondary Education from Pensacola Christian College in Pensacola, FL, and his Master of Arts in Biblical Counseling and Master of Divinity from Luther Rice College & Seminary in Lithonia, GA. He completed his Ph.D. in Historical & Theological Studies from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Lousiville, KY. His current research focus is eighteenth-century English nonconformist Trinitarian theology and the “Bristol tradition” of England’s oldest Particular Baptist seminary. His dissertation is titled “The Scripture Doctrine of the Trinity”: The Polemical Trinitarian Theology of Caleb Evans (1737–1791).
Austin also teaches Church History, Classical Theology, and Rhetoric at Covenant Classical School in Concord, NC. He writes periodically from his Substack publication Lamp Post Letters—where history, theology, and literature converse from the perspective of a Christian sojourner. He and his wife Marissa have two children: Haddon and Owen.
