A native of Akron, Ohio, Dr. Jordan has a BA and MA from Kent State
University and a Ph.D. from the University of Missouri-Columbia
(1975). He has also completed graduate work at the University of
Texas - Austin and has attended two theological seminaries, taking
much postdoctoral work in the Bible and theology.
Dr. Jordan has taught in a number of colleges or universities since
1966, and presently teaches psychology, sociology, history and political
science at several colleges in Kansas as an adjunct.
A former pastor,
he is a very active lay member in a large Kansas City area church.
A writer since 1985 and CEO of a publishing firm, Dr. Jordan created
around 50 resources for self-enrichment, empowerment, spirituality
and Bible study.
Ive been creating Bible quiz games ever since leaving
Central Baptist Theological Seminary (Kansas City, Kansas) in 1985
where I did some for classes and was encouraged by faculty and fellow
students, many of whom were pastors, to put these creations on the
market, Jordan notes.
I
first created Bible quiz board games using actual blueprints as
game boards, and sold quite a few of my Blueprints of Bible Life
series. However, board games were difficult to distribute due to
their physical size. In the mid-Nineties some of these were programmed
into computer interactive disc games somewhat like todays
versions. Many of the original quiz games are still offered today
such as Messages & Miracles (of Jesus), The
Apostle Paul, The Revelation of John, and Acts
of the Apostles.
