Whitlock, Jr. is a Presbyterian minister, educator, and Christian leader who has served at Reformed Theological Seminary (27 years), the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE), the World Evangelical Fellowship, Mission America, the Lausanne Committee for World Evangelization, and Greater Europe Mission. He co-founded and was president of the International Reformed Fellowship. Currently, he is the President of Excelsis and the Executive Director of the CNL Charitable Foundation. He has written over twenty books and numerous articles, in addition to being the Executive Director for The Spirit of the Reformation Study Bible. His books include The Spiritual Quest: Pursuing Christian Maturity (Baker 2000) and Divided We Fall: Overcoming a History of Christian Disunity (P&R 2017).[1]
Much of Dr. Whitlock's work focuses on cooperation and understanding in broader evangelical circles, such as the NAE or World Evangelical Fellowship. His book Divided We Fall was touted by Timothy Keller as "something of a cri de coeur for greater unity in the church." In referencing the same work, Peter A. Lillback calls Whitlock "one of America’s premier ecclesiastical statesmen."[2]
Dr. Whitlock is a graduate of the University of Florida, Westminster Theological Seminary, and Vanderbilt University. He continues to share his wisdom with various organizations via their advisory boards or by other informal means.[3]
