Biography

Bent Christiansen serves as Executive Director of Front Range Bible Institute and Seminary, where he helps lead the Institute's work in theological resources, academic instruction, and church-centered formation. He teaches Old Testament and biblical languages and has published peer-reviewed scholarship in Vetus Testamentum and Zeitschrift für die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft, with research focused on Hebrew grammar, Old Testament exegesis, and the reading of Scripture.

Bent's ministry has included pastoral staff service, church planting, and church revitalization. His work at FRBI&S reflects a conviction that biblical scholarship belongs in the service of the local church—not as an academic possession, but as a means of forming pastors, elders, teachers, and serious students under the final authority of God's Word.

He holds a B.A. in Business Economics from UCLA and the M.Div. and Th.M. from The Master's Seminary, and is pursuing doctoral studies.
