Samuel Emadi
@samuelemadi
Theological scholar with expertise in Biblical studies and teaching.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated scholar with a Doctor of Philosophy in Biblical Studies from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. My academic journey has been marked by a commitment to exploring the depths of Scripture, culminating in my dissertation on the literary-canonical examination of Genesis 37-50. I have authored several books, including 'From Prisoner to Prince: The Story of Joseph in Biblical Theology,' which reflects my passion for integrating biblical narratives with theological insights.
In addition to my writing, I have extensive teaching experience as an adjunct professor at various institutions, including Grand Canyon University and Liberty University. My role as Senior Editor for 9Marks has allowed me to contribute to theological discourse while mentoring future leaders in the church. I am committed to fostering a love for biblical literacy and theological understanding among students and church members alike.
