Darian grew up in the Kansas City area where he graduated from the University of Kansas in 1998 (BA in history) and Midwestern Seminary in 2001 (MDiv). In 2002, he and his family moved to St. Andrews, Scotland where they lived for three years while Dr. Lockett completed his PhD in New Testament. While in Scotland, he filled the pulpit for several small churches in the East Neuk of Fife. Academically, Dr. Lockett is particularly interested in the Catholic Epistles, hermeneutics, biblical theology, and political/economic philosophies and Scripture. He’s the author of Understanding Biblical Theology (Zondervan), An Introduction to the Catholic Epistles, and Purity and Worldview in the Epistle of James (both with T&T Clark). When he’s not reading history or theology, he likes to play guitar, wrestle with his kids, and watch the Kansas Jayhawks play basketball. He lives in Brea, California with his wife, Nicole, and his three children: Madeleine, Evan, and Aidan.
