Before  founding the Alexandrian Forum, Warren taught at Knox Theological  Seminary, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, from August 2002 to June 2014,  where he achieved the rank of full professor in Old Testament and served  as Dean of Faculty. During this time, Warren was also the Director of  the Christianity and Classical Studies graduate program, which he  established in 2004. While at Knox, in addition to developing the entire  curriculum for the Classical Studies program, he wrote a full  curriculum in Biblical Theology, known for its use of Biblical typology  and a literary approach to Biblical exposition to demonstrate that all  of Scripture points to Christ. 

Since 2002, Warren has also served as an  Assistant Minister at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Fort  Lauderdale, which was founded by Dr. D. James Kennedy and is known  throughout the world for its outreach ministry, Evangelism Explosion.  After Dr. Kennedy’s passing in 2007, Warren was selected by the session  of Coral Ridge as preaching pastor for the Sunday Evening Service. 

Prior to Knox, Warren’s experience  includes a legal career as a trial attorney that spanned twelve years.  Warren was a Senior Partner at Cowles and Thompson, P.C., a large,  120-member litigation firm in Dallas, Texas, and served as national  counsel for DynCorp, a Fortune 400 defense contractor headquartered  outside of Washington, D.C. 

Warren is an ordained minister in the  P.C.A. He is the author of 14 books that emphasize a Christ-centered  approach to the Bible and has written and published numerous scholarly  articles, which have appeared in Crux, Westminster Theological Journal, Journal for the Study of Reformed Theology (Korea), and over 25 popular articles in Ligonier Ministries’ Tabletalk Magazine.  Since 2006, Warren has been leading annual Biblical Study tours to  Israel and occasionally to Egypt, Jordan, Greece, and Turkey.
