Ross Wagner is Associate Professor of New Testament at Duke Divinity School, where his research explores the ways scriptural interpretation has shaped the imagination and practices of communities of faith, both ancient and modern. For many years a faculty member at Princeton Theological Seminary, he has held research fellowships at universities in Göttingen and in Munich. His teaching has taken him beyond the university to classrooms in state and federal prisons, and he has led travel courses in Israel/Palestine and Italy. An Anglican priest, he serves in a local parish and takes an active part in the life of the Divinity School’s Anglican-Episcopal House of Study. He and his wife, Ronda, are the parents of four young-adult children.
