Jason Wendel, PhD (in process)

Adjunct Faculty in New Testament

Teaching Philosophy

One of my first bible teachers, Wes Olmstead, used to emphasize in class that we do not seek to master the text, but to be mastered by the text. I endeavor prayerfully to uphold this posture alongside my students. The desired fruit of our study must be lives that are profoundly shaped by the scriptures.
