A Living Tradition: Faithfully Inhabiting and Engaging the World
How does inhabiting tradition invite us to play with its ideas in order to thoughtfully respond to the demands and questions of our day?
Associate Professor of Theology
Dr. Gayle Doornbos serves as associate professor of theology at Dordt University, teaching courses such as Theological Methods, Spiritual Formation, Faith and Suffering, and Teaching the Bible.
Concerned with contemporary questions about the doctrine of God, the relationship between philosophy and theology, the Neo-Calvinist tradition, and Christian formation in the post-Christian west, Doornbos remains active in research of such topics. Her ideas have been published in the following:
Prior to Dordt, Doornbos served as a high school teacher at Lynden Christian and an online instructor at Calvin Theological Seminary.
In addition to her teaching responsibilities, Doornbos has served on the Core and Framework Refreshment committees, speaks in chapel, participates in a bi-annual seminary trip, and contributes to the In All Things blog.
“I love seeing the way that sustained engagement with Scripture and theology can transform and enrich the lives of my students by encouraging them to become engaged in God's world in every aspect of life,” adds Doornbos.
In her free time, Doornbos enjoys hiking, backpacking, cooking, and participating in church life at Inwood CRC.
