David Jackman (July 10, 1942 – N/A) was a British preacher, author, and theological educator whose ministry focused on expository preaching and training evangelical preachers across a career spanning over fifty years. Born in Bournemouth, England, he graduated from Downing College, Cambridge, with an M.A. in 1964, and completed theological training at Trinity College, Bristol, under J. Alec Motyer and J.I. Packer. Converted in his youth, he began his ministry with the Universities and Colleges Christian Fellowship (UCCF) as Universities Secretary from 1965 to 1971, followed by a pastorate at Above Bar Church in Southampton, where he served as assistant minister from 1976 to 1980 and senior minister from 1980 to 1991. Jackman’s preaching career gained prominence when he founded the Cornhill Training Course in London in 1991 at the invitation of Dick Lucas, aiming to equip a new generation of biblical preachers, a role he held until 2004. He served as president of The Proclamation Trust from 2004 to 2009, continuing to preach, lead workshops, and produce resources like Equipped to Preach the Word. Author of over a dozen books, including The Message of John’s Letters (1988) and Transforming Preaching (2021), he emphasized letting scripture shape sermons. Married to Heather with two grown children, he remains active in retirement, preaching at conferences like Keswick and Word Alive, and teaching as a visiting lecturer at Oak Hill Theological College, based in London.
