Theodore Hiebert

Theodore Hiebert writes about biblical views of identity and difference and about biblical perspectives on the environment. His most recent book, "The Beginning of Difference," focusing on the book of Genesis, challenges exclusivist interpretations and reveals a text that embraces and celebrates ethnic identities and differences. His previous book, "The Yahwist's Landscape," challenges claims that the Bible privileges humans and separates them from nature and shows how biblical religion is grounded in the natural world. Hiebert was an editor and translator for the Common English Bible and wrote the notes to Genesis for the "CEB Study Bible" and the "New Interpreter's Study Bible." He is Francis A McGaw Professor of Old Testament Emeritus at McCormick Theological Seminary and lives in Homewood, IL.
