In a 2022 edition of The Gospel Coalition’s “Themelios” journal, the professor wrote about applying biblical frameworks to “private sexuality,” including acts such as masturbation. The last line of that article, co-written with Trent A. Rogers, stated: “With the hope of the near return of Christ, let us walk by the Spirit not in the flesh: ‘But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires’ (Rom 13:14).”
Online biographies indicate that Tarwater and his wife previously served as missionaries with the organization Camino Global. He also served as vice president and chief financial officer at Seminario Bíblico Río Grande in Texas.
