Joseph Scrivner, Ph.D., assistant professor of religion, Samford University

Joseph Scrivner co-authored A Handbook to a Grammar of Biblical Hebrew (Abingdon), a supplemental volume to the Hebrew textbook by C.L. Seow. He has also written brief articles for Teaching the Bible (Eerdmans), The New Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible (Abingdon), The Peoples' Bible (Fortress), and the Encyclopedia of the Bible and Its Reception (de Gruyter). Scrivner's research and teaching interests include Israelite wisdom literature, the relationship between social location and interpretation, and the interplay between a rigorous literary-historical analysis of the Bible and contemporary religious beliefs. He is an ordained minister who preaches and teaches occasionally at Sixth Avenue Baptist Church, where he is a member, as well as in other churches in the area. Scrivner received the B.A. from Crichton College, an M.A. from Reformed Theological Seminary, and his Ph.D. from Princeton Theological Seminary.
