Biography

Black was born in Honolulu, Hawaii.[2] In 1975, Black finished his studies at the Biola University. In 1983 he received a D.Theol. at the University of Basel. He taught at the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary since 1998, and taught Greek to seminary students and church leaders in several different countries.

David Alan Black argues that Greek is an essential language to learn to understand the Bible (thus his 1993 book Learn to Read New Testament Greek), and seeks to connect his students with the holiness of the Greek grammar.[3]

In April 2012, he became the first recipient of the Dr. M.O. Owens Jr. Chair of New Testament Studies endowed by the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.[4]
