Daniel L. Akin Biography

Daniel L. Akin is one of the most popular and richest Missionary who was born on January 2, 1957 in Forest Park, Georgia, United States. Daniel Lowell “Danny” Akin (born on January 2nd 1957) is the sixth president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and the College at Southeastern in Wake Forest, North Carolina. A prominent figure in the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) Akin has written and edited many journals and books. He is most well-known for his dedication to expository preaching as well as to his commitment to the Great Commission.

His first teaching position began at Criswell College, where he taught New Testament, Theology, and Church History from 1988 to 1992. Akin was also Dean of Students at the same period. In 1992, following the time that Paige Patterson became president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina, Akin joined the Southeastern faculty as an Associate Faculty of Theology, and also Dean of Students. Akin then moved to Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. From 1996 until 2004 Akin was a professor of theology and preaching professor and Dean of the School of Theology, and the Senior Vice President of Academic Administration. Akin came back to Wake Forest as Southeastern Seminary’s sixth president, a position that he holds to this day.

Akin began to call for a “Great Commission Resurgence” in his preaching at the November 2007 Building Bridges Conference held at Ridgecrest Conference Center in western North Carolina. However, it was Akin’s April 2009 chapel sermon entitled “Axiom’s for a Great Commission Resurgence” that fueled a widespread effort in the Southern Baptist Convention to build upon the “Conservative Resurgence” of the 1970s and 80s with a unifying effort to streamline SBC structures in order to more effectively fulfill Jesus’ Great Commission. This effort culminated in the forming of a Great Commission Resurgence Task Force by then SBC president Johnny Hunt in 2009 and the adopting of the Task Force’s report at the SBC annual meeting in 2010.

Frequently, international missions is the topic of Akin’s sermons. In a series of chapel messages at Southeastern Seminary from 2007 to 2012, Akin preached a biblical text and illustrated it with the life story of a missionary. This series eventually made its way into publication as 10 Who Changed the World.

Akin is a graduate of 1980 from Criswell College with a B.A. with a major in Biblical Studies and a 1983 graduate of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary with the degree of Master of Divinity. He also received an Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Texas at Arlington in 1989.
