Eddie Cloer attended Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas; Oklahoma Christian University in Oklahoma City; and Harding University Graduate School of Bible and Religion in Memphis, Tennessee. He holds the Bachelor of Arts, Master of Theology (1977), and Doctor of Ministry (1991) degrees. His doctoral thesis focused on evangelistic preaching.

Having begun his preaching career at age fifteen, he has preached the gospel for more than fifty years. He has been the local preacher for congregations in Clarksville (1966–1969), Hot Springs (1969–1971), and Blytheville, Arkansas (1974–1976). He has preached in more than 850 gospel meetings in thirty-five states of the US, London, England, Singapore, American Samoa, and Ukraine. He has also preached in Mumbai, India. In the summers of 1993 to 1995 in the Ukraine, Cloer was part of campaign efforts which featured him in forty-eight one-hour televised gospel presentations.

Cloer taught at Harding University from 1976 until his retirement in 2019. As a Professor of Bible in the College of Bible and Religion, he annually taught Old and New Testament Survey classes and Preaching classes and also taught the Prison Epistles and Acts. He taught sermon preparation in the CAMT and HSBS. From 1983 to 1989, he served as Director of Lectureship and the 13-in-1 Workshop at Harding.

For nearly forty years, he has been the publisher and editor of Truth for Today, a fifty-two-page monthly publication for preachers and teachers of the gospel. Its continued emphasis is on expository preaching. In 1989, working with World Bible School teachers and the Champions church of Christ in Houston, Texas, Cloer began the Truth for Today Printed Preacher School. The school enrolls preachers from around the world and provides for them expository studies which assist them in their personal growth in Christ and in their preaching and teaching. Truth for Today World Mission School in Searcy currently has more than 30,000 preachers enrolled from areas representing 75 percent of the earth's populated land area, and Bible courses are now available online in twenty-three languages.

Dr. Cloer is the author of three volumes in the Truth for Today Commentary series, Psalms 1—50, Psalms 51—89, and Psalms 90—118, as well as several books, including What Is "the Church"?; God's Design for "the Church"; "The Church": The People of God's Purpose; "Thus Far the Lord Has Helped Us," and Come, Let Us Magnify the Lord. He is an elder at the College church of Christ and has served since 2008 as a coordinator for the Caring and Sharing weekly outreach. He and his wife, Susan, have two married children and seven grandchildren.

Psalm 119 Eddie Cloer, D.Min.
Psalm 119 is unique in its extensive acrostic structure and in its singular praise for God and His Word. The psalmist repeatedly expressed his love and desire for God's law, referring to its commands and precepts using vivid terminology. With striking figurative language, he depicted his reliance on the Word to give him comfort, to protect him from the evil he saw around him, and to guide him into greater obedience to the God he adored. God's Word can be for us, as it was for him, a light to guide each step. Eddie Cloer's study challenges us to love, meditate on, and uphold the truths of the holy Scriptures. No one can engage in any higher pursuit, and this book is an excellent tool to help in that endeavor. (732 pages)
