A.K.M. Adam teaches New Testament and Early Church History at Seabury. He received a bachelor’s degree in philosophy at Bowdoin College, an M.Div. and S.T.M. from Yale Divinity School, and a Ph.D. in New Testament from Duke University. Ordained in 1986, he has served a number of school and parishes, most recently including the Parish of St. Luke’s, Evanston. AKMA has taught at Eckerd College and Princeton Theological Seminary before coming to Seabury. He spent one semester at the Names Foundation in San Francisco, studying the inter-textual relation of the Bible and the AIDS Memorial Quilt. He has written and edited numerous books and articles, including What is Postmodern Biblical Criticism? (1995), Making Sense of New Testament Theology (1995), A Grammar of New Testament Greek (1999), and A Handbook of Postmodern Biblical Interpretation and Postmodern Interpretations of the Bible: A Reader (2000). His classes at Seabury emphasize the value of learning to read the New Testament through the church’s interpretive tradition, in order to enhance students’ preaching, pastoral practice, and spiritual engagement with Scripture. He is presently working on projects on the Gospel of Matthew, the Epistle of James, and exegetical method.
