Beth M. Stovell

Dr. Beth Stovell fell in love with writing in elementary school, entranced with creating stories, songs, and poetry. In her 20s, Beth found she loved teaching and writing non-fiction. Bridging biblical studies and literature, Beth traces metaphors throughout the Bible. She is a prolific author. Besides her many books and academic articles, she has written for Christianity Today, Faith Today, and Bible Study Magazine. She is working on commentaries on the Minor Prophets, Hosea, Ezekiel, and John's Gospel.

Born in Pordenone, Italy, Beth grew up in Austin, TX. She has spent much of her adult life in Canada where she lives with her husband, Jon, and their two adorable kids. Beth is Professor of Old Testament at Ambrose University in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Beth is passionate about biblical justice. She works as a Research Associate with the Canadian Poverty Institute, examining poverty from a biblical lens. She co-chairs the Truth and Reconciliation team of the Calgary Alliance for the Common Good, seeking change in her city in the treatment of Indigenous peoples. Beth is currently writing her first fiction novel, which flows from these experiences.
