Dear Friends and Family,

Today I want to introduce you to another of our Biblical Studies faculty, Prof Roland Deines. Roland, born and raised in Germany, did his university work in Switzerland, Germany, and Jerusalem. Roland did his PhD on the Pharisees under Dr Martin Hengel. Roland is also an ordained minister in the German Lutheran Church.

Roland’s work focuses on the Pharisees and the gospel of Matthew, however, he is also interested in the history leading up to the time of Jesus, also known as Second Temple Judaism. Along with teaching a wide variety of classes, Roland leads, off and on, two different informal groups in the department. One is the Greek Hebrew Latin Reading Group. This group tends to select 1-3 texts, depending on how many languages they want to cover, and read them together, first in the original and then translating one verse at a time. The other group, is the Informal Biblical Seminar, where students and faculty can have an opportunity to present their work and have it discussed.

Roland, as well as being an excellent person, is an excellent supervisor to his students. While often tough and demanding, his students come to truly know their material and learn how to handle all the tough questions supervisors can ask like why.

Videos

Roland is featured in many other videos at Bibledex. I selected the one where he is most excited, since he did some very early work on Jewish stone jars.

Why Study Jesus Christ

Why Study the Pharisees

Water into Wine

I hope you’ve enjoyed Roland’s videos and are considering looking at some of his works (the ones in English, anyway, unless you know German).

Yours,

David
