Rob Stegmann joined the Cornerstone faculty in January 2008 as Lecturer in Biblical Studies. In this capacity, Rob is responsible for teaching Old and New Testament Survey modules as well as more focused modules in the area of New Testament Studies (such as the Pauline Writings, among others). He also supervises final-year students who are writing their biblical studies senior project paper.

Rob has been involved in theological education, at various levels, for the past seven years. During this time, Rob lectured at the Baptist Theological College of Southern Africa (Randburg) and at Rhema Bible College, teaching in the areas of New Testament Studies, Systematic Theology, Church History, and Youth Studies.

In 2005 Rob took up a pastoral position with St. Martin’s Anglican Church in Cape Town, where he served for three years. It was during this time that he took on the responsibility to establish a Bible School for the church.

Rob is currently working on his PhD through the University of Cape Town. His research focus is in the Pauline letters, with particular emphasis on Paul’s use of the Septuagint in the argument of First Corinthians. His theological training includes a BTh (Hons) through the University of Zululand and a MA (NT) through the Rand Afrikaans University.

Rob has a passion for teaching and for the Bible. Through his appreciation for the beauty of the text of Scripture, Rob invites his students to gain fresh, and sometimes deeply challenging, insight into their understanding of the God revealed there. It is his conviction is that the text of Scripture not only carries the capacity to transform lives by effecting a conversion of the imagination, but that it calls its hearers to creative improvisation in the world.

Rob and his wife live in Muizenberg and enjoy the outdoors, gardening, and camping.
