Matthew R. Schlimm

I am Assistant Professor of Old Testament at the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary.  My interests focus on theological, ethical, and rhetorical interpretation of biblical texts, especially narratives and prophetic literature. I earned my Ph.D. from Duke University. My dissertation, "From Fratricide to Forgiveness: The Ethics of Anger in Genesis," explores the moral insights that Genesis offers for dealing with human anger.  Eisenbrauns is publishing a revised edition of it in their new series entitled Siphrut: Literature and Theology of the Hebrew Scriptures.
