Cameron Schweitzer

Cameron’s academic journey began at the University of California at Santa Barbara, where he originally intended to study philosophy and pursue a career in law. During that first year, however, he sensed a call to vocational Christian ministry and changed his academic plans. After that first year, he transferred to California Baptist University where he earned Bachelor’s degrees in philosophy and theology and graduated summa cum laude.

He then began his Masters’ of Divinity Degree through the Orange County Campus of the then Golden Gate Baptist Seminary in 2013, finishing as a Gateway Seminary graduate in 2017 (the Seminary relocated and changed its name in 2016). He started his Ph.D. the same year in theological studies, completing his doctoral work in 2022. His dissertation focused on the biblical exegesis of the American pastor-theologian, Jonathan Edwards, titled “Towards a Clearer Understanding of Jonathan Edwards’s Biblical Typology: A Case Study in the ‘Blank Bible.’”

Cameron has been employed at Gateway Seminary for over 10 years. He first began his service as an employee at Golden Gate Seminary in 2015, as the Seminary’s first Enrollment Specialist. He served in this role for four years before being promoted to the Director of Enrollment. Cameron then served in this subsequent role for four years before being promoted to his current faculty role in the San Francisco Bay Area, where he has been serving since March of 2023. In this role he wears many “hats”: academic administrator, professor, recruiter, advisor, fund-raiser, networker. He has taught courses in theology, history, and ethics.

Cameron has also served as an Adjunct Professor in California Baptist University’s online Christian Studies program since 2022, where he teaches introductory courses in philosophy and Bible. Before his decade-long tenure with Gateway Seminary, Cameron also spent a year teaching high school students in Southern California and a semester teaching English as a second language at California State University in San Bernardino.

Cameron’s academic interests include theology, history, philosophy, and ethics. His dissertation was published as an academic monograph through the Jonathan Edwards Society in 2025. He has published several articles and book reviews in the Puritan Reformed Journal, the Jonathan Edwards Studies Journal, the Studies in Puritanism and Piety Journal, the Calvin Theological Journal, Themelios, and Religions. He has also published several chapters in the second and third volumes of The Jonathan Edwards Miscellanies Companion. He is currently serving as a co-author and editor of three books under contract for publication in 2027.
