Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society, Mar 2006
Robert Harvey Countess was born August 26, 1937 in Memphis, TN, to Parks and Kathleen (casey) Countess. Robert was religious as a child and read the Bible, but he was not saved until he served in the military. While stationed at Fort Dix in New Jersey, Robert met Patricia Davis. They corresponded while Robert was in Germany in the late 1950s, and were married in August, 1961, at Patricia's home church in Asbury Park, NJ. Robert's B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees were earned at Bob Jones University between 1961 and 1966. He later received his M.L.S. degree from Georgetown University in 1978.
Robert was chairman of the foreign languages department at Covenant College from 1966-68. He then taught philosophy and NT Greek at Tennessee State University in Nashville, TN, from 1969-74. Robert served in the U.S. Army as a chaplain from 1974-84, then taught history at the University of Alabama at Huntsville, and Latin at the Randolph School from 1985-87. He penned several books, and filled in occasionally at Alabama A & M, and at Oakwood College (SDA). He served as a professor of NT at Birmingham Theological Seminary in Alabama, and taught speech classes at a local community college.
Robert was a member of the Evangelical Theological Society since 1996, and delivered several papers at annual meetings. Robert died of a malignant brain tumor on March 20, 2005 in Athens, GA. He was 68. He is survived by his second wife of 17 years, Elda (nee Bergeron) of Toney, AL; his son Tim with his wife Jonnesa and their son Ryan and daughter Bristol of Harvest, AL; and his son Stephen with his wife Mandee and their son Henry of Huntsville, AL.
