Ron Pierce has taught at Biola University in the undergraduate Biblical and Theological Studies division since 1976, specializing in the controversial area of "theology, sexuality and gender", the life and writings of the OT prophet Daniel, and the Israel-Palestine conflict. From 1986–2001 Ron directed Biola's Israel-Palestine travel-study program, then continued to lead study tours to the Holy Land for local churches until 2014. His published books include Discovering Biblical Equality (2004, 2005, 2021), Partners in Marriage & Ministry (2011) and the Teach the Text commentary on Daniel (2015)—along with numerous articles for academic journals. Ron and his wife Pat have been active members at the Whittier Area Community Church since 2004, and Ron is ordained with Converge International.
