Dr. Robert Elliis is the newly appointed Dean of Logsdon Seminary and School of Theology at Hardin-Simmons University. Dr. Ellis’ teaching career began at HSU in 1984. He joined the faculty of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth in 1986, and then returned to HSU as part of the Logsdon faculty in 1996. Ellis is a product of Hardin-Simmons, earning his Bachelor of Science in Religion in 1977. He attended Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, where he earned both his Master of Divinity and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Ellis has also engaged post-doctoral study at the University of Cambridge and is the author of numerous publications, including the widely-used Hebrew textbook. In 1992, Ellis was named a Distinguished Alumnus of Logsdon. Ellis has also served as an adjunct at the Baptist Theological Seminary in Bucharest, Romania and at the Nigerian Baptist Theological Seminary in Ogbomosho, Nigeria.
Beyond the classroom, Ellis is a sought-after teacher and preacher in both academic and congregational settings and has served as an interim pastor for numerous congregations. Ellis and his wife Teresa (who is an HSU faculty member and Logsdon’s Theological Librarian) are active members in Abilene’s First Baptist Church where they teach a Sunday School class. Both are deacons and have been regularly engaged in international mission efforts.
Dr. Ellis has also served as advisor, teacher, friend, tour guide, and mentor to Second B'ers Stephanie Nash, Jakob Topper, Bryce Null, Andy Scott, Emily Sharp, and Shane McDaniel. They all agree: you won't want to miss him!
