Having been in ministry for over 20 years, Dr. Bruce Henning has a passion for both the academy and the church, using his teaching at Cornerstone Theological Seminary to equip believers for the work of the church. In addition to traditional New Testament classes, he leads the “Ancient World of the Bible” course, regularly taking students to Israel and Turkey, as well as supervises the Master of Theology (Th.M.) program for the New Testament. He is particularly excited about teaching students to comprehend Greek as Greek, employing a semi-immersive approach in which students learn to read and speak the ancient language.
After completing his Master of Divinity (M.Div.) from Moody Theological Seminary, Dr. Henning earned his PhD from Trinity College – Bristol with the University of Aberdeen. His dissertation examines Matthew’s eschatological hermeneutic, now published as a monograph in Brill’s Biblical Interpretation Series. His latest work, “Apprentices of the Messiah with Baylor University Press” (August 2026) continues his research in how disciples inherit Jesus’ approach to Scripture.
As a member of the Society of Biblical Literature and the Evangelical Theological Society where he serves as chair of the Matthew section, Dr. Henning values participating in Biblical research. He has articles in academic venues such as New Testament Studies, Journal for the Study of the New Testament, Novum Testamentum, Biblica, and The Journal of Gospel and Acts Research. His more popular pieces can be found on The Gospel Coalition.
With his wife, Anna, and three children, he is in fellowship at Forest Hills Bible Chapel, where he serves as an elder and preaches regularly.
