Prophets and Prophetic Ministry
AEHS Study Day with Dr. Ellen Davis
Thursday, March 11, 2010
Ellen F. Davis is the Amos Ragan Kearns Professor of Bible and Practical Theology at Duke Divinity School.
Professor Davis is the author of eight books and many articles. Her research interests focus on how biblical interpretation bears on the life of faith communities and their responses to urgent public issues, particularly the environmental crisis and interfaith relations.
Her most recent book, “Scripture, Culture, and Agriculture: An Agrarian Reading of the Bible” (Cambridge University Press, 2009), integrates biblical studies with a critique of industrial agriculture and food production.
Her other publications include:
- “Wondrous Depth: Old Testament Preaching” (Westminster John Knox, 2005)
- “Who Are You, My Daughter? Reading Ruth through Image and Text” (Westminster John Knox, 2003), an annotated translation accompanying woodcuts by Margaret Adams Parker
- “Getting Involved with God: Rediscovering the Old Testament” (Cowley, 2002)
- “The Art of Reading Scripture” (Eerdmans, 2003), co-edited with Richard Hays).
Professor Davis has long been involved in inter-religious dialogue and is now cooperating with the Episcopal Church of Sudan to develop theological education, community health and sustainable agriculture.
