6 Dallas Baptist University has honored Dr. David Arnott with the title “Professor Emeritus,” recognizing 32 years of faithful teaching, mentorship, and scholarship. Known as “The Christian Economist,” Dr. Arnott has dedicated his career to helping students understand economics through a biblical worldview. He earned degrees from Greenville College, Texas A&M University–Commerce, and The University of Texas at Arlington. At DBU, he most recently served as Professor of Management, teaching economics and preparing generations of students to think critically about stewardship, markets, and leadership. Throughout his career, Dr. Arnott authored several works on leadership, management, and economics, including Biblical Economic Policy: Ten Scriptural Truths for Fiscal and Monetary Decision-Making, co-authored with Dr. Sergiy Saydometov. An accomplished speaker and global traveler, Dr. Arnott has visited more than 55 countries, leading business study visits and sharing practical insight on faith and the marketplace. He also hosts The Christian Economist Podcast, where he explores topics related to faith, economics, and public policy. During his 32 years at DBU, Dr. Arnott has faithfully invested in students who now serve in businesses, churches, nonprofits, and communities around the world. The Honors Program at Dallas Baptist University provides students ways to grow spiritually and academically through curated courses, enrichment, and faculty mentorship. Led by University Honors Program Director and Professor Dr. Philip Mitchell, the program integrates Scripture and classic literature from ancient Greece to present, challenging students to connect faith, learning, and future callings through study, research, and discussion. For more than twenty years, Dr. Mitchell has helped guide Honors Students as they prepare for careers in literature, theology, science, art, and other fields. Small, discussion-led classes complement DBU’s liberal arts mission of producing Christ-centered servant leaders while encouraging curiosity, imagination, and meaningful dialogue. Students also participate in Friday Honors Symposiums in Rogers Theatre, the annual Fall Retreat at the DBU Hospitality House at Mt. Lebanon Encampment, the Spring Conference, and the DOXA Literary Festival. To receive Honors recognition at commencement, students maintain a 3.5 GPA and complete a senior thesis or project presented before a panel prior to graduation.
