Tim Gallant Profile

I am an author, preacher and speaker, and songwriter. I also dabble in web design and development.

My writing and speaking (and much of my songwriting, for that matter) revolves around my work in biblical studies. This work seeks to grow out of close exegesis and concerted attention to details of intertextuality as well as typology. My overarching aim is to derive an interpretation that reads “with the grain” of the biblical text.

I was born in western Canada at the very front end of “Gen X”, and was raised by a travelling indie Pentecostal-ish preacher. Over the course of several years in my early adult life, I migrated into more distinctly Reformational theology.

I have an M.Div. from Mid-America Reformed Seminary, graduating with honors in spring 2000. Following graduation, I served as a pastor and preaching elder in Alberta and Montana for over a decade between 2000–2013.

I’m spread thin by numerous responsibilities (along with trying to keep up with the family, I presently work in the manufacturing industry and do web development work on the side), but attempt to keep up with the writing. I had two book releases in 2024. Beloved Enemies: A Biblical Antidote to Antisemitism, was published in October 2024. Christmas: Story of an Earth-Shaking Birth was published in November 2024 (a companion album was released in October).

My first published book, Feed My Lambs, continues to be a leading influence in its advocacy of child communion. Among my other numerous non-fiction writings are Metanarrative, an easy-to-read introduction to the story of Scripture (and first volume in the Core 100 Series), and Paul’s Travail, an in-depth commentary on Galatians. I have also written several other works in the biblical studies arena, as well as works of fiction. (See this site’s Books page for a full listing of publications.)

All of my books are available from Amazon. (Non-fiction under Tim Gallant available here; fiction under T.A. Gallant available here.)

Books published by Pactum Books and Timotheos Press are also available from pactumbooks.com.

I live with my wife Kristi just outside of Nashville, Tennessee, where we enjoy ten children.
