He became serious about faith in college while attending a Congregational church and then a Presbyterian church. For a time, Carroll attended Covenant Seminary in St. Louis and though his experiences at that seminary were entirely positive, it became clear to him that he was not called to the ministry. He pursued the discovery of his actual calling over many years and down many blind alleys. His professional degree is a PhD in mathematics, but he always pursued theology and biblical studies as an amateur in the older sense of the word - as one who pursues something from love.
Carroll served as an elder in two very different congregations: first in a Presbyterian church (PCA) as a ruling elder for four years, and then again in a non-denominational charismatic church. Currently he is a member of the parish of the Episcopal church in which his wife is the priest. Carroll and Kathryn have been married 38 years as of 2011 and have ten children ranging in age from 13 to 37. They spent ten years living on what had been an Amish farm, without electricity or plumbing, raising sheep and children and a garden.
Carroll brings his rather checkered denominational past into full use in his approach to the Bible, which tends to fall in between the various theological and denominational schools. His training in the mathematical sciences may be noticed in his organizational style. His home is in upstate New York, where - despite the climate - he spends as much time at gardening as he can spare. When he is not studying the Bible or gardening, he enjoys reading nearly any type of book and writing poetry.voir moins
