C. Clifton Black, Princeton Theological Seminary’s Otto A. Piper Professor of Biblical Theology, earned his M.Div. from Emory University and his Ph.D. from Duke University. He is interested in New Testament exegesis, theology, and the history of scriptural interpretation, with a focus on the four Gospels. He regularly teaches such varied courses as biblical theology and the practice of ministry, prayer in the New Testament, the Gospel of Mark, major themes in New Testament theology, the biblical and Shakespearean visions, and the parables of Jesus. An ordained United Methodist minister, he serves with John T. Carroll and M. Eugene Boring as editor of The New Testament Library, published by Westminster John Knox Press. Black is also an associate editor of The Catholic Biblical Quarterly and Horizons in Biblical Theology, and a member of The Center of Theological Inquiry in Princeton and The American Theological Society.
