Dr. Justin K. Hardin currently teaches courses in New Testament and Greek, and in May 2007, he received OBU's Promising Teacher Award for excellence in teaching. Prior to coming to OBU in the fall of 2005, Hardin and his family were in Cambridge, England for four years where he was a postgraduate student at the University of Cambridge and a member of Tyndale House (named after the reformer and Bible translator William Tyndale), the latter of which is the third largest biblical studies library in the world. During the 2004-5 academic year, he also taught New Testament Greek to undergraduates at As an OBU professor, Hardin is interested primarily in the transformation of his students as a result of the integration of faith and academic learning. When asked to state the greatest commandment, Jesus answered, “Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength” (Mark 12.29-30, quoting Deut 6.4-5). Hardin challenges students to flesh out this complete love for God in their own lives. Along with the other OBU faculty, he is concerned with both the mind and the heart, with the transformation of students as critical thinkers, responsible persons in society, and faithful believers in Jesus, all to the glory of God. Hardin and his wife, Jill, have two boys, Ethan, 4, and Drew, 3.
