Dr. Devin L. White serves the Lumen Center as its Fellow in Biblical Studies. Dr. White is the author of two books. The first, Teacher of the Nations, examines Paul’s reception of ancient educational traditions in 1 Corinthians. The second, Christ Reads in Me, is completed and awaiting publication. In it, Dr. White explores Origen of Alexandria’s reception of Paul’s hermeneutics and argues that Paul’s biblical interpretation remains a viable model for Christian exegesis of Scripture. Dr. White’s scholarly articles have appeared in various peer-reviewed journals and edited collections. He is beginning research on a third book, tentatively exploring the book of Colossians and its implications for Christian engagement with liberal democratic politics.

Dr. White enjoys working with a range of audiences, academic and popular. In addition to his published scholarship and service as an academic instructor, he frequently preaches and facilitates learning experiences in local churches.
