PROFESSOR OF OLD TESTAMENT
Southern Methodist University, BA, Summa Cum Laude; Dallas Theological Seminary, ThM, Highest Honors; Southern Methodist University School of Law, JD; University of Dallas, MA, PhD (Political Philosophy); University of Tübingen (Germany), Post-graduate studies.
Dr. Gage believes that students should be trained to preach the Word, be prepared in season and out of season, to correct, rebuke, and encourage – with great patience and careful instruction (2 Timothy 4:2-3). Passionate about biblical theology and the great books, Dr. Gage relishes the opportunity to prepare Knox Seminary students for the highest of all callings—the gospel ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ.
His love of the Reformed faith was born out of a deep sense of his own unworthiness, and a profound joy in the pure grace of God. He is trained in Old Testament, philosophy, history, and law.
Prior to entering ministry, Dr. Gage spent ten years as a trial attorney. He was national counsel for a multi-billion dollar defense contractor based in Washington, DC.
After coming to Knox Seminary, he was installed as an Assistant Minister at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, founded by Dr. D. James Kennedy. Upon Dr. Kennedy’s disability, he was invited to preach the evening service at Coral Ridge and continued to do so for two years. When the new pastor, Rev. Tullian Tchividjian, was installed, he asked Dr. Gage to continue preaching the evening service for an additional two years.
Dr. Gage wrote the curriculum for the Christian and Classical Studies program at the seminary. He has written twelve books on the theme of biblical theology, ten titles published through Logos Bible Software. Three of these titles are on the resurrection of Jesus in the Old Testament.
Dr. Gage has published articles in various academic journals such as Crux and the Westminster Theological Journal.
When not teaching, Dr. Gage enjoys the Great books, conversation with friends, World War II history, and all things German. He is married and has two children.
Where in the Bible …is Resurrection
(Genesis 2:18-24) We begin with Paul’s magnificent reading of Moses’ account of the creation of Eve. In his Ephesian letter Paul describes the privilege of the Christian husband to imitate Christ’s own sacrificial love in his relationship to his wife. “Husbands love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her” (Eph 5:25). The apostle derives his doctrine from the… Read more »
Where in the Bible …is the GOSPEL
If we assume the integrity of the longer ending of Mark’s Gospel, Christ’s answer in Mark 9:12-13 to the disciples’ Elijah question occupies a position almost precisely in the center of the book. The centrality of the Elijah question suggests that one purpose of the Gospel of Mark was to respond to the query that arose as a consequence of the scribal teaching (certainly based… Read more »

It Is Finished Message preached on May 6th, 2012 by Dr. Warren Gage. Jesus is the ultimate finisher who leaves nothing undone. He will accomplish in us everything God has purposed for us to do. Jesus took all our sins upon himself and nailed them to a tree, that they might be as the Scripture says, removed as far from us as the east is… Read more »

Training Up The Next Generation Message preached on March 18th, 2012 by Sam Kastensmidt. The omnipotent God of the universe has chosen to demonstrate his immeasurable strength from the lips of young children. In the Old Testament, God charged the Levitical priests with the responsibility to train up the children. In the Protestant era of the universal priesthood, we are ALL charged by God with… Read more »
Where in the Bible …is Suffering
We have said that our method will be to identify the “third day” passages of the Old Testament and examine them to see if they mark a pattern foreshadowing the “suffering and glory” of the Christ. But we should say a word about what we are likely to see. The hermeneutic of the Lord and his apostles was largely figural in character, requiring a poetics… Read more »
