Lyle Vander Broek

Lyle Vander Broek has served both as pastor of a rural church and as minister of outreach in a struggling urban congregation. Since 1983, he has taught courses in the Greek language and in biblical exegesis at Dubuque Seminary, and has continued to pursue his special interest in the Gospel of Mark and I Corinthians. In 1992, he co-authored the book Literary Forms in the New Testament.
