Dr. Coakley is a minister of Word and Sacrament and a General Synod Professor in the Reformed Church in America. He holds degrees from Wesleyan University, Rutgers University and Harvard Divinity School.
"New Brunswick Seminary is deeply grateful for Dr. Coakley's 32 years of faithful service as our Professor of Church History," said Dr. Greg Mast, President of the Seminary. "He exemplifies what we hope from all who teach at NBTS - a person deeply committed to his students, his scholarship, his colleagues and his faith."
