Jonathan Rusnak

Rev. Jonathan Rusnak serves as Assistant Professor of Theology at Concordia University, Nebraska, teaching Old Testament and Faith and Life courses since joining the institution in 2024 after twelve years of pastoral ministry across two Lutheran congregations.

His academic credentials include:

• B.A. from Concordia University, River Forest (2005)
• M.Div. from Concordia Seminary, St. Louis (2010)
• S.T.M. from Concordia Seminary, St. Louis (2014)
• Additional studies at Westfield House, Cambridge (2003, 2007–2008)

Rusnak's research centers on doctrinal theology grounded in Scripture and Lutheran Confessions, with current dissertation work analyzing Spirit Christology as an interpretive framework for Johann Gerhard's Loci Theologici. This reflects deep engagement with historical Lutheran theology while maintaining connections to Old Testament studies and practical theological application in faith formation contexts.
