===Career=== In 1991 he was ordained as a minister by the [[National Baptist Convention, USA]].{{sfn|TBT|1991|ps=. "C. _ Craig Keener will be ordained to the ministry of the National Baptist Convention U.S.A. here Sept. 1, representing the culmination of the white scholar's identification with the black church."}} In 2001, he became an associate pastor at Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church in [[Philadelphia]] until 2011.{{sfn|Keener|2024}}

Keener became a professor at [[Hood Theological Seminary]],{{sfn|AS|2020}} then professor of New Testament at [[Palmer Theological Seminary]] at [[Eastern University (United States)|Eastern University]] for nearly 15 years. Since 2011, Keener has been (F. M. and Ada Thompson) professor of [[New Testament]] at [[Asbury Theological Seminary]] in [[Wilmore, Kentucky]].{{sfn|AS|2020}} Keener has taught in various countries, especially countries in [[Africa]].{{sfn|AS|2020}}

From 2014 to 2019, Keener was the editor of the ''[[Bulletin for Biblical Research]]''.{{sfn|Stovell|2020}} He has authored a number of commentaries on New Testament books as well as books and articles.{{sfn|Chilton|2011}} His popular ''IVP Bible Background Commentary: New Testament'' (1993) has sold over half a million copies.{{sfn|AS|2020}}

In 2020, he served as the president of the [[Evangelical Theological Society]].{{sfn|ETS|2021}}

=== Scholarly expertise and views === Keener's expertise lies in [[New Testament]] Background, the [[book of Acts]], [[Jesus]], [[Miracle]]s,{{sfn|Hardman|2012|p=90}} [[List of Gospels|the Gospels]] and [[Race relations|Ethnic/racial Reconciliation]].{{sfn|Hauerwas|Wells|2011|p=122}}{{sfn|AS|2020}}

[[Bruce Chilton]] lauded Keener's 2009 book ''The Historical Jesus of the Gospels,'' writing that it "marks a notable moment in the critical study of Jesus." He based this claim on the fact that Keener uses the study of Jesus' Jewish environment to argue for the authenticity of the Gospels.{{sfn|Chilton|2011}} Keener has an [[Arminianism|Arminian]]{{sfn|Marberry|1998|p=30}} theological standpoint on [[soteriology]], supporting [[conditional preservation of the Saints|conditional preservation]] of the believer.{{sfn|Wilkin|2019}} Keener holds [[Christian egalitarianism|egalitarian]],{{sfn|Doriani|2009|p=81}} and [[continuationist]] views.{{sfn|Oliverio|2022|loc=Developing Global Pentecostal Hermeneutics}}

Keener's book Christobiography: Memory, History, and the Reliability of the Gospels argues that the Gospels should be considered ancient biography and analyzes their historical value in that light. Keener also interacts with the oral traditions behind the Gospels and memory theory. His work has been endorsed by [[Richard Bauckham]], [[Markus Bockmuehl]], [[James Charlesworth]], and [[David Aune]], among others.<ref>{{cite book |last= Keener |first= Craig |author-link= Craig Keener |year= 2019 |title= Christobiography: Memory, History, and the Reliability of the Gospels |publisher= Eerdmans |isbn= 978-0802876751}}</ref> [[Richard Burridge (priest)|Richard Burridge]], who was one of the key scholars who initially demonstrated that the Gospels were ancient biography,<ref>[[Graham Stanton]] in the Foreword to the 2nd ed of ''What are the Gospels?'' Eerdmans (2004)</ref> praised Keener's volume as well.<ref>{{cite journal |last= Burridge |first= Richard |author-link= Richard Burridge (priest) |year= 2019 |title= Craig S.

While Keener occasionally edges close to credulity, he prudently never crosses the line, and provides a well-balanced study of the gospels.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Tripp |first=Jeffrey |title=Christobiography: Memory, History, and the Reliability of the Gospels |journal=Reviews in Religion & Theology |volume=27 |issue=2 |pages=257–259 |doi=10.1111/rirt.13802 }}</ref>
