Greg Laurie, senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship® in Riverside and Irvine, California, began his pastoral ministry at age 19 by leading a Bible study of 30 people. Since then, God has transformed that small group into a church of some 15,000 people, making Harvest one of the largest churches in America. In 1990, Laurie began holding large-scale public evangelistic events called Harvest Crusades®. Since that time, more than 5 million people have attended Harvest Crusades across the United States, in locations ranging from the annual event at Angel Stadium, Calif., to Madison Square Garden in New York City to Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Harvest Crusade events have also been held in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Another 1.5 million people have attended Harvest events virtually, via live or archived Internet webcasts. Laurie is the featured speaker of the nationally syndicated radio program A New Beginning which is broadcast on more than 700 radio outlets around the world. In addition to speaking and assisting other ministries, Laurie has authored over 70 books including As I See It, Hope for Hurting Hearts, Married.Happily, Essentials, Upside Down Living, The Greatest Stories Ever Told, Revelation: The Next Dimension, As It Is in Heaven and more.

Anthony Schmidt earned the Ph.D. in American religion from Princeton Theological Seminary. Schmidt’s academic work focuses mainly on evangelical history. He is especially interested in the cultural construction of orthodoxy and the way certain beliefs and behaviors become normative over time. His current research examines how financial factors in the 19th century shaped denominational attitudes toward slavery and race. Anthony is also working on a second, longer-term project on the use of the Bible within popular devotional practices at the turn of the 20th century. He has published articles and book reviews in academic journals such as The Journal of Religious History, Nova Religio and Fides et Historia. Anthony joined Museum of the Bible as the curator of Bible and Religion in America in 2017. As Senior Curator, he oversees the museum’s curatorial team, manages collections research and documentation and develops exhibition and museum content. He also curates post-16th century texts and artifacts in the Museum Collections. Previously, he served as a doctoral assistant in the Department of Special Collections at Princeton Seminary and as an author and researcher for the American Bible Society’s Faith & Liberty Discovery Center project in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
