Dr. Yarnell travels widely to speak both in local churches and in universities in order to promote biblical discipleship for the glory of Jesus Christ, his interests are in Systematic Theology (Trinity, Pneumatology, Ecclesiology), Historical Theology (Reformation), Baptist and Free Church Studies (17th Century Origins, Southern Baptists), and Political Theology, contributing to scholarship in all four areas. He is the author of The Formation of Christian Doctrine, and is under contract for the publication of his doctoral dissertation, "Royal Priesthood in the English Reformation," as well as a new Baptist Heritage text. Dr. Yarnell feels that he is called to disciple future leaders of the churches of Jesus Christ; therefore, his goal is to edify the local churches through Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Recently, by request of the administration, he was asked to take on the responsibility of Editor of the Southwestern Journal of Theology not only to bring it up to date but to continue its history as both an academic and pastoral publication of Southwestern Seminary.
