David L. Stubbs

David L. Stubbs was born and raised in Los Angeles. After receiving B.S. and M.S. degrees at Stanford University, David worked as a seismic engineer in San Francisco. While pursuing his engineering career, he also worked full and part-time in churches and ministries and eventually decided to change paths, go deeper in his faith, and explore his call to ministry.

He received a M.Div. from Princeton Theological Seminary and a Ph.D. in theological ethics from Duke University and then settled into a professorship of ethics and theology at Western Theological Seminary in Holland, Michigan. He is an ordained Minister of Word and Sacrament in the PC(USA), for many years acted as co-chair of the Christian Systematic Theology Section of the American Academy of Religion, is a member of the Society of Christian Ethics and and has worked on many committees on the local and national level for the PC(USA).

He is currently co-directing the Hope-WTS Prison Education Program, excited about the recent publication of his book, Table and Temple, participating in the latest round of the Reformed – Roman Catholic ecumenical dialogue, and is starting a new research project on Christian virtues. When not working on theology and ethics, he loves being in the great outdoors, making music, cooking with his wife Lynn, and sipping a good cup of coffee.
