About Dr. Jeannie

Hello, friends, and welcome to my website!

The Bible is an inexhaustible well of divine insights and inspiration. The words, wisdom and profound example of Jesus Christ never cease to amaze me. The Bible has something for everyone and it should not be intimidating. But many people find it overwhelming when they try to read or learn about the Bible. My objective is to “make the Bible come alive,” a comment frequently heard from my readers and listeners. I became fascinated by the Bible and early Christianity as a college student, and never stopped learning about and teaching the Scriptures.

I have been a professor, author, speaker, and podcaster on the New Testament and early Church for decades. I hope you will join me as we journey into the world of the New Testament and the early Church.
