Rate My Professor Brian Alderman

Dr. Brian Alderman serves as Chaplain, Interim Dean of the Peeke School of Christian Mission, and Associate Professor of Bible and Religion at King University in Bristol, Tennessee. He earned his Ph.D. in Hebrew Bible from Emory University, Master of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary, and Bachelor of Arts from Lee College. Alderman joined King University in the fall of 2014, where his role integrates his passions for pastoral ministry and teaching in biblical studies and religion. Prior to this appointment, he taught as a faculty member at Lee University for six years, pastored the Madisonville Presbyterian Church of the Presbyterian Church (USA) in Madisonville, Tennessee, and served simultaneously as Chaplain and adjunct professor at Hiwassee College in Madisonville, Tennessee.
