Educator. Theologian. Author.

What guides his writing

Three commitments that shape every page.

Scripture First

His work is rooted in careful study of Scripture, including attention to the Bible’s original languages.

Honest Hope

Plain language about grace, redemption, and the love that holds all things.

A Life of Service

Thirty years in public service before a second calling into theology.

About

A quiet life, a clear calling.

Dr. Eckhart spent thirty years in public service before returning to school for theology. Along the way he earned a doctorate at Ashland, raised a family with his wife Sue Ellen, and quietly worked on a book that took twenty years to finish.

His writing is gentle but direct. It assumes you have questions. It takes Scripture seriously. And it offers a hope that, in his own words, may be even better than we thought.

The Book

Jesus the Everlasting Hope of Humankind

Biblical Theology Prompted by Visions and Dreams from the Holy Spirit

On the morning of April 3, 1999, Don woke up with the tune of an old hymn in his head. New words came with it. He wrote them down. Years of seminary study, Greek, Hebrew, and patient Scripture work later, this book is what he found.

"The Good News may be even better than we thought."
