Courtney is a BibleMesh Institute Teaching Fellow and conference speaker. She is a graduate of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary (PhD, Biblical Interpretation; MDiv, Biblical Languages), Gateway Seminary (ThM, New Testament), and Florida Southern College (BA, News Media Communications). Her PhD research is titled, “A Lexical Semantic Study of καταστολή and its Function in 1 Timothy 2:9”, in which she demonstrates through a series of classical profiles covering the sematic range of this term, that καταστολή represents a significant ancient virtue of “self-restraint,” rather than is mistaken translation as “clothing/apparel” in modern English translations.
Her research has been the basis for a revision of 1 Timothy 2:8-10 in the NET Bible translation. She has presented at Oxford University, Tyndale House (Cambridge, UK), and the Society of Biblical Literature. She is the author of a forthcoming book with T&T Clark on her work in linguistics and interpretation on I Timothy.
