Charles A. Clough

Charles A. Clough … … was born in Brooklyn, NY and grew up on Long Island. Upon graduation from high school, Charlie received a full scholarship to Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It was during his first semester at MIT that Charlie was led to Christ by a Campus Crusade for Christ staff member. Charlie met Carol while in college and they later married. Charlie completed his BS in Math at MIT and also did some graduate work. After four years in the Air Force serving as a meteorologist, he entered Dallas Theological Seminary. Charlie earned the Th.M. in Old Testament Hebrew while at Dallas, graduating in 1968. His master’s thesis was entitled A Calm Appraisal of The Genesis Flood, which was a review and analysis of all the reviews and analyses of John Whitcomb and Henry Morris’ classic work The Genesis Flood. By this time in his life, the former evolutionist had used his scientific and biblical training to conclude that God created the heavens and earth in six literal days, six thousand years ago. Charlie became pastor of Lubbock Bible Church in 1968, where he developed his unique approach to training Christians through a Basic Framework for Christian Doctrine. In the early 1980’s Charlie earned the M.S. in Atmospheric Science from Texas Tech University. From 1982 through 2006, Clough was a staff meteorologist with the Department of the Army involved with weapons testing at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. He retired from the position as Chief of the Aberdeen Test Center Meteorology Team. Starting in the fall of 1995 Charlie began teaching a Thursday evening class at Fellowship Chapel in Jarrettsville, Maryland on his Basic Framework for Christian Doctrine. This series was completed in the Spring of 2002. All of the 224 MP3 lessons, class handouts, lecture transcriptions, and miscellanea are available for downloading from this Web site. A well-respected Bible scholar, with a scientific background, Charlie is a much sought-after conference speaker and teacher. He is on the Board of Advisors and serves as a member of the Adjunct Faculty of Chafer Theological Seminary. Charlie and Carol reside in Bel Air, Maryland. They are parents of four grown sons.
