Dr. Eric Watkins

Dr. Eric B. Watkins is pastor of Salt and Light Reformed Church in Daytona Beach, Florida, and director of the Center for Missions and Evangelism at Mid-America Reformed Seminary in Dyer, Indiana.

Dr. Watkins’s PhD dissertation, The Drama of Preaching: Participating with God in the History of Redemption, was published by Wipf and Stock in 2017. It focuses on the idea of preaching Christ from the Old Testament in a postmodern context. He is also the author of numerous articles for Tabletalk, New Horizons, and Christian Renewal magazines, as well as other scholarly publications. He is also the author of a forthcoming book on Hebrews 11, to be published by Reformation Trust. His research interests are preaching, evangelism, church planting, theology/practice of mission, and postmodernism. He is very much a practitioner as well, and enjoys being “in the trenches” doing the work of the ministry.

Dr. Watkins is a member of the Evangelical Homiletics Society and is a frequent conference speaker.
