Craig T. McMahan serves as University Minister, Dean of Chapel, and Assistant Professor of Religion at Mercer University within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and Roberts Department of Christianity. His multifaceted role integrates academic instruction with spiritual leadership across Macon and Atlanta campuses.
His educational background includes:
- B.A. from Taylor University
- M.Div. from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
- Ph.D. from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
McMahan's research centers on gospel narratives, examining their historical foundations and layered theological interpretations through the principle of fides quaerens intellectum (faith seeking understanding). He explores how these texts maintain potency for contemporary Christian discipleship while navigating the intersection of spiritual devotion and academic inquiry.
As an ordained American Baptist minister with prior service in Ohio, Kentucky, Alabama, and North Carolina, he directs University Worship, advises religious groups, and provides pastoral care. His work fosters Mercer's distinctive environment where Baptist tradition coexists with intellectual freedom and community engagement.
