Dr. Donald H. Juel  

Richard J. Dearborn Professor of New Testament Theology

Ph.D., Yale University


 

When Donald H. Juel joined the Princeton Seminary faculty in 1995 as the Richard J. Dearborn Professor of New Testament Theology, he brought a commitment to awakening in his students an appreciation for and a love of the Bible.  A New Testament scholar, Dr. Juel has worked hard not to confine his study to one area or to one New Testament author. He believes that his most significant contribution to the field of New Testament studies is found in four of his books: Messiah and Temple, Messianic Exegesis, Mark (a commentary), and A Master of Surprise. He explains that, read together, “the books form a coherent argument about the heart of the Christian tradition, employing an array of historical and literary methods, in such fashion as to make for more lively and productive Bible reading in the present.”

An ordained minister in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), he has pastored several Lutheran congregations and has written for The Lutheran, a journal of the ELCA
