After serving six years in the United States Marine Corps, Dr. Bill Creasy received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Arizona State University in 1974, summa cum laude, his Master of Arts Degree from Arizona State University in 1976; and his Ph.D. in English Literature from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 1982. He retired from the UCLA English Department faculty after serving nearly thirty years. For many years he taught a year long, 12-unit undergraduate course, The English Bible as Literature. It became one of the most popular and highly rated courses at UCLA, placing Dr. Creasy among the top two percent of UCLA’s teaching faculty. Dr. Norman L. Geisler and Ralph E. MacKenzie, in their book Roman Catholics and Evangelicals (Baker Academic Press, 1995), call Dr. Creasy a “Bible teacher extraordinaire.” Among his many scholarly achievements, Dr. Creasy’s book, The Imitation of Christ, a New Reading of the 1441 Autograph Manuscript, 3rd ed. (Mercer University Press, 2015) has been hailed as the standard translation of this Latin spiritual classic. It is also available as an audio book on Audible.com. Dr. Creasy has been chosen as an honorary Mortar Board member at UCLA; he has been appointed as a member of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles Spirituality Commission; and he has served as Scholar in Residence at Sinai Temple in Los Angeles, the first Christian academic to hold that appointment. The San Diego Ecumenical Council has also honored him for his teaching and his work in ecumenism. Dr. Creasy has spoken at countless professional gatherings, and he has served as keynote speaker at such functions as the Episcopal Bishops’ Conference. In 2022 Dr. Creasy was included in Who’s Who in America and he was recognized as among the top one percent of the nation’s educators. Dr. Creasy formed Logos Bible Study in 1989 to teach Scripture to a general audience. The original course spanned 5 years, and he taught through the entire Bible, verse-by-verse, Genesis through Revelation, in local churches. By 1995 he was teaching over 2,000 people weekly in the Los Angeles area. In 1995 Dr. Creasy opened his first regional class in San Diego, bringing together 18 local churches, both Roman Catholic and Protestant. Classes in Orange County and Phoenix, Arizona followed. By 2000 he was teaching over 6,000 people weekly throughout Southern California and Arizona . . . in addition to serving full time on the UCLA English Department faculty. In 1992 Dr. Creasy led his first “teaching tour” to Israel. In October of 2023 he will lead his 67th Israel teaching tour, and he has led dozens of “Footsteps of St. Paul” tours to Turkey and Greece; “Footsteps of the Patriarchs” to Eastern Turkey; “Footsteps of Moses” to Egypt and Jordan; “At Sea with St. Paul” to the Aegean Sea; and 5-star Mediterranean Cruises, visiting Spain, Malta, Crete, Egypt, Israel, Cypress and Turkey. During a typical year, Dr. Creasy leads 4-6 such teaching tours, totaling 200-300 students annually. Dr. Creasy’s website https://www.logosbiblestudy.com offers 22 in-depth, university-level courses on Scripture, which include both the complete Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) and the Greek Scriptures (New Testament). Audible.com hosts over 600 hours of his live, professionally recorded, studio-edited lectures, that move verse-by-verse through the entire Bible, Genesis through Revelation, recorded before a live audience in Seal Beach, California. The Audible courses have garnered thousands of 5-star reviews. In addition, Dr. Creasy hosts two podcasts: 1) the One Year Bible, a twice-weekly podcast on Spotify, where he teaches through the entire Bible in 80 podcasts of 45-60 minutes each, as well as hosting live discussion sessions during his weekly Tuesday and Thursday Zoom “Office Hours”; and 2) Scripture Uncovered, a weekly podcast that explores more deeply issues relating to biblical literature, textual studies, history, theology, culture, and hermeneutics. Dr. Creasy’s two Podcasts have achieved over 1 million “listens.” Through his live classes, seminars, retreats, podcasts and teaching tours, over 250,000 students have participated in Logos Bible Study courses and events.
