John W. Hilber

Associate Professor of Old Testament Studies

B.S., University of Washington, 1977; Th.M., Dallas Theological Seminary, 1984; Ph.D., Cambridge University, 2004.

Dr. Hilber served for 15 years in pastoral ministry before pursuing doctoral studies in preparation for academic ministry.

His specialized interest is the use of ancient background material in Old Testament studies. Dr. Hilber and his wife have one daughter.
