Biography
Dr. Peter Althouse comes to Southeastern University from Toronto, Canada, where he and his wife Denise have spent the last seven years teaching high school English and humanities courses.  Dr. Althouse also has experience in post-secondary education, having served as an adjunct professor for Tyndale University College and also having taught courses for Wycliffe College (University of Toronto) and Eastern Pentecostal Bible College.

He has written two books and several book chapters and articles on these topics. He is especially interested in developing a Pentecostal theology that is not only faithful to the heart of the movement but also able to engage theologies from other Christian traditions. Dr. Althouse is credentialed with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada.
