Rev. Dr. Matthew Skinner is a teacher in a number of settings. He is a seminary professor, Presbyterian minister, podcaster, writer, and conference speaker—a teacher who loves helping others better understand the New Testament and the world it was written in. He serves as the Asher O. and Carrie Nasby Professor of New Testament at Luther Seminary in Saint Paul and the Scholar for Adult Education at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Minneapolis. Since 2008, he has been one of the co-hosts of a weekly podcast called Sermon Brainwave, which accompanies preachers as they wrestle with biblical texts in preparing sermons. He has written a number of books on the New Testament writings and the early decades of the Christian church. Three of those books guide readers into the Acts of the Apostles, including one for a wide audience titled Acts: Catching Up with the Spirit.
