C. Fred Smith is an Associate Professor of Biblical Studies and Theology at Liberty University's School of Divinity. He holds a PhD in Philosophy of Religion (Apologetics) from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, with a dissertation titled "An Evangelical Evaluation Of Key Elements In Leslie Newbigin’s Apologetics."
His research focuses on apologetics, Christian theology in modern contexts, classical theism, and the intersection of faith with culture. Notable interests include evaluating theologians like Lesslie Newbigin, analyzing modernist influences, and studying historical figures like Francis Schaeffer and Jerry Falwell.
Smith’s publications explore topics such as cultural Christianity, biblical translation history (e.g., KJV), and theological debates over divine immanence. His work often bridges academic theology with practical apologetics for contemporary faith communities.
He serves actively in Forest Baptist Church, leading adult Bible studies and participating in mission trips to Asia with his wife Laverne, who directs Sunday school there. Their shared passions include gardening, travel, and reading.
