About SSP Founder
The founder of Sola Scriptura Publications is Dr. J. D. “Doc” Watson (ThD, DRE). He entered the ministry in 1974, serving in several capacities
including 29 years in the pastorate, 26 of which at Grace Bible Church in
Meeker, Colorado. He also speaks at Bible Conferences and other venues. He founded SSP to publish biblically sound books in the shadow of many publishers that are more concerned with appealing to the masses.
In addition to his
other published books, he continues to write and edit the monthly publication Truth
on Tough Texts, on which both the present book and its predecessor are
based. His driving passion is the exposition of the Word of God as the sole and
sufficient authority in all matters. This is demonstrated in no better way than
in his 3-1/2 year (500,000 word) exposition of the Epistle to the Ephesians,
which he hopes to publish in 2014.
Dr. Watson also
serves on the board of On Target Ministry (www.ontargetministry.org), which is
committed to international education. He has had the opportunity to serve
overseas in this capacity by teaching at the Haiti Bible Institute, which was
founded by OTM in 2009. He likewise serves on the board of the Institute for
Biblical Textual Studies, which is committed to defending the Traditional Text
of the New Testament.
Dr. Watson has also
contributed articles to other publications, including a weekly column in his
local newspaper based upon his pulpit ministry. He also maintains three blogs:
§Expositing Ephesians: The
Christian’s Wealth and Walk (http://expositingephesians.blogspot.com).
§Tas Membranas
(http://tas-membranas.blogspot.com/), which is dedicated to book reviews.
§John Calvin for Today, a
devotional site based upon Calvin’s expositions
(http://johncalvinfortoday.blogspot.com/)
The other loves of
his life are his wife, Debbie (since 1974), his son, Paul (since 1988), his Daughter-in Law, Celeste (2012), his
church family (since 1986), and his favorite hobby, golf (since 1968).
