University of Minnesota; M.A., B.S. Wheaton). His biblical theology of singleness (Redeeming Singleness: How the Storyline of Scripture Affirms the Single Life, Crossway: 2010) has been used in seminary courses, mission conferences and spiritual retreats.

Barry serves as Adjunct Professor of Theology at Rocky Mountain College in Calgary.
