Biblical studies affords the opportunity for in-depth analysis of the Christian canon.
However, even in the introductory courses, students are encouraged to look deeply at this often puzzling and yet ultimately rewarding body of literature that we call scripture. David Petersen has been teaching at Iliff since 1983. His special areas of interest are Israelite prophetic literature and the book of Genesis. Dr. Petersen, a member of the Society of Biblical Literature, The Catholic Biblical Association, the American Schools of Oriental Research, and the Colloquium for Biblical Research, is an ordained Presbyterian minister.
