Dr. Craig A. Carter retired from teaching and was appointed Research Professor of Theology at Tyndale University in Toronto, Ontario at the end of 2020. He is married to Bonnie and they have three adult children and five grandchildren. To relax he likes gardening, camping, hiking, canoeing and reading historical novels.

Dr. Carter’s main academic interests lie at the intersection of the interpretation of Scripture, the doctrine of God and the metaphysical doctrines we derive from our doctrine of God and bring to the interpretation of Scripture. A second area of interest is the theology of culture and, in particular, the meaning of Western modernity.

Together with Matthew Barrett he edits two series. One is a five-volume Thomas Aquinas for Protestants with Crossway for which is is doing the volume Thomas Aquinas on God and Creation. The other is Pillars in Christian Dogmatics with IVP, for with he is writing the volume on creation. He also is in the process of publishing the Great Tradition trilogy with Baker Academic. Interpreting Scripture with the Great Tradition: Recovering the Genius of Premodern Exegesis was published in 2018 and Contemplating God with the Great Tradition: Recovering Trinitarian Classical Theism in 2021. The third volume will be Doing Metaphysics with the Great Tradition: Recovering Classical Realist Philosophy (tentative title). He also is working on several other projects including an Introduction to Christian Theology in the Great Tradition and a multi-volume, theological commentary on Isaiah for the International Theological Commentary series published by T. & T. Clark.

He contributed a chapter in Five Views of Christ in the Old Testament (Zondervan) and he is completing the volume on providence in the series, Short Studies in Systematic Theology (Crossway).

He is a regular contributor to World Opinions and Credo Magazine.
