Dr. Moore has been a member of the faculty of the Church of God Theological Seminary since 1982. He held a Teaching Assistantship at Vanderbilt University for one year and was Old Testament Bibliographer at Vanderbilt for three years. Dr. Moore has been a guest speaker at the Korean School of Theology, the Church of God Institute for Educational Leaders for Honduras, the Pentecostal/Centro Guatemalteco de Teologica in Guatemala, and Colegio Biblico Pentecostal de Puerto Rico. Moore's Vanderbilt University Ph.D. dissertation on the Elisha Stories in II Kings was revised and published with Sheffield Academic Press under the title, God Saves: Lessons From the Elisha Stories. Together with his seminary colleagues, Chris Thomas and Steven Land, Moore is a founding editor of the Journal of Pentecostal Theology, the first academic series ever to feature constructive theology from a Pentecostal perspective on an international, scholarly level. Complementing his publication of a number of scholarly articles in this area, Moore received a major research grant in 1994 by the Association of Theological Schools to study the relationship of charisma and canon in the Old Testament.
