His ThM in Old Testament is from Dallas Theological Seminary, and his PhD in religion and sociology is from the University of Pittsburgh.

Derek Van Pelt Campbell has been in pastoral ministry for seventeen years, currently serving the Latrobe Presbyterian Church in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. He earned an MDiv at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary and is currently pursuing a DMin through Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Several years ago, he fell in love with the book of Deuteronomy when he spent an entire year preaching through it. He contributed, among other things, the chapter on Deuteronomy to Invitation to the Torah.
“This is one of the finest expositions on the main theme and the divine purpose for the Old Testament book of Deuteronomy. In my judgment, this book and its fine discussion deserves the highest commendation from those who seek the best study of the book of Deuteronomy for personal devotional study and for teaching and preaching on this magnificent book of the Bible.”
—Walter C. Kaiser Jr., president emeritus, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary
“George and Derek Campbell argue that the Ten Commandments in Deuteronomy 5 and the many laws in Deuteronomy 6‒26 are a gift from God. The gift of Deuteronomy explains what it means to love God and to love others. Every chapter ends with questions for individuals and then questions for teachers and preachers. Interpreting the Bible by the Bible in Loving God and Neighbor is teaching me things I need to learn.”
—Gary Edward Schnittjer, distinguished professor of Old Testament, Cairn University
“The Ten Commandments are well-known, but often misunderstood. In this carefully argued book, the authors propose that Deuteronomy (1) unpacks the meaning and significance of the Commandments by showing us how to love God and our neighbor and (2) calls for a response of faith and obedience. To facilitate application, they include insightful study questions at the end of each chapter. Deuteronomy deserves our attention, and the authors prove to be reliable guides.”
—Robert B. Chisholm Jr., chair and senior professor of Old Testament, Dallas Theological Seminary
