After growing up in Houston, Land earned an undergraduate degree with honors from Princeton University as well as New Orleans Seminary and Oxford (doctor of philosophy).
In his role leading Southern Baptists’ social concerns agency, Land has represented Southern Baptists and other evangelicals in the halls of Congress, before U.S. presidents, and in the media. He has served multiple terms under presidential appointment as a member of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom.
