Dr. Christopher Bechtel, Second Fellowship
The SAET is pleased to welcome Dr. Christopher Bechtel into the SAET’s Second Fellowship.Christopher Bechtel pastors Evergreen Church (PCA), a ten year old ministry to urban Salem, Oregon. Beginning at Evergreen in January 2012 was a return home for Christopher and his family after several years away from the Northwest, first for seminary at Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis and then for a PhD in Hebrew Bible at the University of Edinburgh. To date, Christopher has published in bioethics, both for the popular press and for academics, particularly in the forthcoming The Ethics of the New Eugenics (Berghahn), a coauthored volume cataloging and examining advances in beginning of life biotechnology. His future work, however, will focus on the theological interpretation of Scripture as well as the political theology of the Hebrew prophets.
Welcome, Christopher!

Welcome to the SAET blog. Herein you will find the theological/pastoral ramblings of the Rev. Matthew Mason, the good Doctor Jason Hood, and Pastor Gerald Hiestand. All three write under the premise that theology and the pastorate belong together, and that (at least some) pastors must once again function as writing theologians for the wider church, for the ecclesial renewal of theology and the theological renewal of the church.
