Career

Haykin served as principal and professor of church history and spirituality at Toronto Baptist Seminary in Toronto, Canada, from 2003 to 2007. Previously, he was a professor at Heritage Theological Seminary from 1993–1999 and at Central Baptist Seminary from 1982-1993. He was the editorial director of Joshua Press from 1999 to 2002. He was appointed to the faculty of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2007.

Russell D. Moore, dean of the School of Theology and senior vice president for academic administration at Southern Seminary was quoted as saying:

“I sometimes wonder if Michael Haykin is one scholar or a conspiracy of brilliant minds masquerading as one man...After all, he is a pacesetter in the very different fields of spiritual formation, Baptist studies, patristic history, and beyond. He is one of the most recognized scholars in the world in each of these fields, having written and lectured extensively in each area, even while serving as a seminary administrator, popular conference speaker, and leader within the Canadian Baptist churches.”[1]
