Dr.
Lynn Cohick is interested in how average Jews and Christians
lived out their faith in the ancient setting of Hellenism and
the Roman Empire. In her doctoral work, she studied an Easter
homily written by a second century figure Melito of Sardis.
She examined the author's use of the Hebrew Scriptures (Old
Testament) to explain Jesus Christ, and his portrayal of Christians'
relationships with Jews. Dr. Cohick is also interested in how
women celebrated their religions in the ancient world, and how
that might help contemporary women in their faith.
Dr. Cohick has had the privilege of teaching overseas at the
Nairobi Evangelical Graduate School of Theology in Nairobi,
Kenya, for three years (1998-2000). She was challenged by the
students' dedication, and enriched by their vibrant Christian
faith.
When not teaching, you might find Dr. Cohick and her two children,
Charles and Sarah, out riding their horses. She enjoys reading
mysteries and jogging with her husband, Jim.
