The world of publishing plays an important role in the life of a professor engaged in the guild. While many who work in publishing have education in other fields, it is often advantageous for publishers to hire experts in the field of biblical and theological studies to work as editors. They are intimately involved in influencing professors, students and churches through a wide variety of publishing projects.

For a school to run smoothly, talented administrators are required to direct the ship, and scholars can find it to be a fulfilling role to help facilitate the work of others. However, it could be difficult to get a job in educational administration without first holding a full-time faculty position. In addition, administrative roles generally allow less time for publishing and teaching.

A frequent path for PhD graduates is to enter church life, as pastoring involves many opportunities for teaching. Some larger churches may even have specialized roles like a campus pastor, teaching pastor, or scholar-in-residence that may be particularly suited to someone with a PhD in biblical or theological studies.

I asked this very question myself even before completing my PhD in 2019: what’s it all for? Considering the slumping academic job market, and fierce (read, ridiculous) competition for the few jobs in my discipline each year, I wondered what the point was of nearly a decade of rigorous intellectual forging through two masters degrees and a doctorate in New Testament.
So I was grateful to find recently a superb resource on the very question. Charlie Trimm and Brittany Kim have compiled numerous testimonies from PhD’s now putting their education to use in various fields including the pastorate, administration, editing and publishing, Bible translation, and more.
We’re going to be publishing these testimonials over the coming weeks as a way to encourage you to consider entering the long, hard road of doctoral studies as a means to serve the church, to serve other people, and to serve our Lord.
Perhaps the high aspiration of many a newly minted PhD, i.e. a tenure-track post at a prestigious institution of higher education, is not the only worthwhile, nor actually the best, reason to earn a doctorate.
