Wendy Widder

Wendy Widder is an award-winning author, teacher, and scholar, who loves helping people understand the Bible better. Most of her study has been devoted to the Old Testament, and she is especially passionate about helping the church restore an appreciation and love for this oft neglected Bulk-of-the-Bible.

She has a PhD in Near Eastern Studies (University of the Free State), an MA in Hebrew & Semitic Studies (University of Wisconsin-Madison), and an MDiv with an emphasis in educational ministries. She is the author of a memoir about calling, two books for single adults, and a third book for Christian school teachers, which she co-authored with her father. She is also the author of two commentaries on the book of Daniel (in The Story of God commentary series and forthcoming in the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary on the Old Testament series). Additionally, her master's thesis and doctoral dissertation have been published, by Logos Bible Software and Walter de Gruyter, respectively.
