      <head>Biographical Note</head>
      <p>F. Calvin Parker was born in 1926 in Florida. By age thirteen Rev. Parker, had decided upon Christian ministry as a profession. His studies at Carson-Newman College were interrupted in 1945, when he was drafted into the U.S. Army and sent to Yale University for a Specialized Training Program in Japanese.</p>
      <p>In 1947 he was ordained as a Southern Baptist minister and continued his education, earning a B.A. from Carson-Newman College (1948), a B. D. from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (1951), and a Th. M. from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (1957), with additional studies at Harvard, Vanderbilt Divinity School and University of Tennessee.</p>
      <p>From 1951 until 1989 he and his wife Harriet Hale Parker served as missionaries in Japan under the auspices of the Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. His assignments there included service as Field Evangelist, pastor of Shibuya Baptist church in Tokyo, editor of the JAPAN CHRISTIAN QUARTERLY, President of the Fellowship of Christian Missionaries to Japan and he served as a professor the Department of Theology at Seinan Gakuin University from 1980-1988.</p>
      <p>Parker also wrote several books, including Jonathan Goble of Japan: Marine, Missionary, Maverick (1990), Icon and Outcast: The Life of Jonathan Goble (2007), Christ in a Kimono (2003), and The Good Book Is Better Than It Used to Be: Eighty Years with the Bible (2009). Upon his retirement to Mars Hill (NC), he and his wife became active members of Mars Hill Baptist Church where Parker continued his scholarly pursuits as teacher of Bible-study classes and writing eleven other books.</p>
