Dr. L. Daniel Hawk, Ph.D.
Professor of Old Testament and Hebrew, is keenly concerned to expand students’ biblical horizons to empower Christian mission to a world in flux. For him, this means introducing students to an array of critical approaches and exploring insights from other fields of knowledge. Dr. Hawk loves the energy of the classroom and the insights that arise from addressing difficult questions and issues. Not content with restricting learning to the classroom, he challenges students to extend the biblical witness into the world, particularly as it calls Christian disciples to the pursuit of justice and peacemaking. Students often comment that they have left his classes with a deep appreciation for the truth, beauty, and relevance of Scripture.
