A. Andrew Das
Dr. Das is listed among the 25 leading Pauline theorists of the last century in the textbook Perspectives Old and New on Paul. Another recent text, Approaches to Paul, devotes a section to his work.
He has authored several books in biblical studies: Solving the Romans Debate (Fortress, 2007), Paul and the Jews (Hendrickson, 2003), Paul, the Law, and the Covenant (Hendrickson, 2001), and Galatians (808 pages, Concordia Academic, 2014). Paul and the Stories of Israel: The Grand Thematic Narratives of Galatians is forthcoming from Fortress Press in 2016. He co-edited and contributed to The Forgotten God: Perspectives in Biblical Theology (Westminster John Knox, 2002). His articles have appeared in such venues as the Journal of Biblical Literature, the Journal for the Study of the New Testament, New Testament Studies, the Catholic Biblical Quarterly, and Biblical Research, and more recently in Paul Unbound (Hendrickson, 2009), The New Interpreter’s Dictionary of the Bible (Abingdon, 2009), Reading Paul’s Letter to the Romans (Society of Biblical Literature, 2012), Unity and Diversity in the Gospels and Paul: Essays in Honor of Frank J. Matera (Society of Biblical Literature, 2012), the Oxford Encyclopedia of the Bible and Ethics, the Lexham Bible Dictionary (“Sadducees,” “The Letter to the Romans”) and the Oxford Handbook of Pauline Studies (forthcoming).
Dr. Das has served as an invited member of the Society of Biblical Literature’s Paul and Scripture Seminar and has presented his work at the annual meetings of the Society of Biblical Literature, the Chicago Society of Biblical Research, the international Studiorum Novi Testamenti Societas, of which he is an elected member, and the Evangelical Theological Society. Dr. Das is also a member of the Catholic Biblical Association of America, and was invited to deliver a paper at the inaugural meeting of the Society of Biblical Scholars, the new organization for biblical scholarship in Africa. He also serves on the Holman Christian Standard Bible translation revision committee. For wider audiences, he authored Baptized into God’s Family (Northwestern, 1991; second edition, 2008).
Dr. Das received graduate degrees from Yale University and Union Theological Seminary in Virginia, and his doctoral work was done at Duke University. He teaches biblical studies, early Christianity and Second Temple Judaism at Elmhurst College in Elmhurst, Illinois, where he holds the Donald W. and Betty J. Buik Chair. He is currently researching the key women and their leadership in the Pauline communities and writings.
