Dr Robert E. Van Voorst is a Professor of New Testament Studies at Western Theological Seminary, in Holland, Michigan, and has published scholarly works in early Christian writings and New Testament Greek.

He has also served as a supply pastor, and for twelve years as pastor at Rochester Reformed Church, New York. [] On the other hand, some reviewers in Evangelical journals criticised what they saw as an over-skeptical attitude towards the New Testament, [cite journal |author=John Goertzen |date=December 2001 |quotes=no |title=Review of "Jesus Outside the New Testament" |journal=Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society |volume=44 |issue=4 |pages=731–732 ] cite journal |author=William Varner |date=Fall 2000 |quotes=no |title=Review of "Jesus Outside the New Testament" |journal=Master's Seminary Journal |volume=11 |issue=2 |pages=270–272 ] in one case recommending works by F. F. Bruce and Gary Habermas as superior in this respect.
