Dr. Scott Adams serves as an adjunct assistant professor in the School of Divinity at Regent University and leads Our Savior’s Church in Lafayette, Louisiana. His academic and pastoral work bridges Pentecostal theology with practical ministry, emphasizing Spirit-empowered leadership for contemporary challenges.
His educational foundation includes:
- B.A. in Religious Studies from Regent University
- M.A. and M.Div. from Liberty Theological Seminary
- D.Min. in Applied Theology from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
- Ph.D. in New Testament from Radboud University, Netherlands
Adams’ research centers on the Johannine literature through a Pentecostal lens, exploring pneumatology, reception history of John’s Gospel, and Spirit-empowered pastoral practice. His work uniquely integrates biblical exegesis with charismatic spirituality, addressing how prayer and the Holy Spirit function in unchurched contexts and crisis situations. This dual focus on academic rigor and ministry application defines his scholarly identity.
His 2020-2024 publications reveal consistent thematic threads: comparative analyses of prayer-Spirit dynamics in Luke/John, pneumatological frameworks for evangelism, and rhetorical studies of prayer in Revelation. These works demonstrate a cohesive trajectory examining how Johannine theology informs Pentecostal practice, particularly regarding the Holy Spirit’s role in prayer, leadership, and outreach to marginalized communities.
Adams has authored two books on Johannine prayer theology and contributed to theological education through book reviews in Pneuma and a chapter in Scribes for the Kingdom. His academic service complements his pastoral commitment to equipping leaders, reflecting his belief that rigorous scholarship must serve practical ministry formation. Outside academia, he balances family life with outdoor pursuits like hunting and traveling.
