Wheaton College is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Kevin J. Vanhoozer as the Blanchard Professor of Theology.
Dr. Vanhoozer, a systematic theologian who is best known for significant contributions to theological hermeneutics, will join the Department of Biblical and Theological Studies in July. He will teach in the College’s graduate programs in theology, and will mentor doctoral students.
“We are grateful to God for his provision of another excellent faculty member to strengthen our work. We look forward with real excitement to Dr. Vanhoozer’s contribution to our department and to the wider College,” says Dr. Jeffrey P. Greenman, Associate Dean of Biblical and Theological Studies.
Professors in the department have taught from many of Dr. Vanhoozer’s books. He is the author of Biblical Narrative in the Philosophy of Paul Ricoeur: A Study of Hermeneutics and Theology; Is There a Meaning in this Text? The Bible, the Reader, and the Morality of Literary Knowledge; First Theology: God, Scripture and Hermeneutics, and The Drama of Doctrine: A Canonical-Linguistic Approach to Christian Theology. Vanhoozer’s fifth book, Remythologizing Theology: Divine Action, Passion and Authorship, will be published by Cambridge University Press in 2010 and Pictures at a Biblical Exhibition: Theological Scenes of the Church's Worship, Witness, and Wisdom will be published next year by InterVarsity Press. He has edited eight additional books.
Dr. Vanhoozer received a Bachelor of Arts from Westmont College, a Master of Divinity from Westminster Theological Seminary, and the Doctor of Philosophy from Cambridge University, England. Before coming to Wheaton, he taught at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and was a senior lecturer at New College, University of Edinburgh, Scotland.
