Dr. Michael J. Gorman is

a joint appointment in the Ecumenical Institute and in the Seminary.
Dr. Gorman earned his
B.A. summa cum laude in French from Gordon College. He received
the M.Div. and the Ph.D. cum laude in New Testament from
Princeton Theological Seminary, where from 1981 to 1986 he was also a
teaching fellow in New Testament and then an instructor in New Testament
Greek. Dr. Gorman’s specialties are the letters, theology, and
spirituality of Paul; the gospel of John; the book of Revelation;
theological exegesis; and early Christian ethics. In addition, he has a
strong interest in the relationship between church and culture, most
especially issues of violence.
Dr. Gorman joined the Ecumenical Institute
of Theology faculty in 1991, becoming Associate Dean in 1993 and Dean in
1995. He was made a full professor in 1998. He was the 2005 recipient of
a national prize in theological education, The Fortress Press Award for
