Dr. Michael Barrett

Dr. Michael Barrett is the president of Geneva Reformed Seminary and an associate minister of Faith Free Presbyterian Church in Greenville, South Carolina.

His dissertation was titled “A Methodology for Investigating the Translation Philosophies and Techniques of the Septuagint.” For almost thirty years, he was professor of Ancient Languages and Old Testament Theology and Interpretation at Bob Jones University. He assumed his present position at Geneva Reformed Seminary in the fall of 2000.

Formerly a member of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, Evangelical Synod, Dr. Barrett has had an active role in the ministry of the Free Presbyterian Church since its inception in North America. He is a member of the Evangelical Theological Society and has published numerous articles in both professional and popular journals.
