Eugene E. Lemcio

Eugene E. Lemcio, Ph.D. (Trinity College, Cambridge University) is Emeritus Professor of New Testament at Seattle Pacific University, where he taught for 36 years. Lemcio’s body of published work (see CV) may be grouped into seven categories: 1. Literary and redactional studies of the Gospels examine the adoption, adaptation, and arrangement of tradition—steps required before historical investigation can begin. 2. Articles on canon develop a contrapuntal, biblical-theological interpretation of diverse texts [his version of “canonical hermeneutics”] a) among the synoptics, b) between them and John, and c) within the Pauline corpus: 1 Corinthians and 1 Timothy & Colossians and Philippians (forthcoming). 3. Three essays demonstrate a unifying kerygma within 19 of the 27 books of the NT: centrality and stability in a sea of diversity. One article attempts to show this even for the OT. 4. Most recently, Lemcio has written on the Septuagint a) about the son of man figure in Daniel; b) of Daniel himself as an “historical” sign of the eschatological Son of Man and Ancient of Days/God Most High; and c) offering a biblical-theological reflection (forthcoming) on the son of man figure in Psalm 8, Psalm 79 (HB 80), and Daniel 7. 5. Three pedagogical aids (for Revelation, Mark, and John) provide visual and verbal materials for classroom teaching and learning. 6. Between September 2015 and March 2017, Lemcio published five poems on various subjects (mostly about science and religion). 7. Several studies in Ukrainian and English relate to Biblical Studies and Protestantism in Ukraine. He is a third generation American of Ukrainian descent. Besides being an activist in the local diaspora, he has also visited the land of his grandparents six times to lecture on the Bible in Ukrainian and English in state universities and in seminaries of all major denominations.
