Donald Senior
Donald Senior is Professor of New Testament Studies, and President of Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, Illinois.Throughout his years of studying and teaching the New Testament, Donald Senior has been absorbed by the Gospels, both the Synoptics and John. A particular interest is the connection between the theological and literary characteristics of each Gospel and the pastoral and missionary contexts of the early church. Familiarity with the history and landscape of the Middle East has also prompted a strong interest in the historical Jesus and the social and historical context of the New Testament. All of these issues, he believes, help make the biblical text come alive for the church today. A member of the Pontifical Biblical Commission he is general editor of the Catholic Study Bible and author of the four-volume The Passion of Jesus in the Gospel of Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John . He has just taken on the presidency of the Association of Theological Schools. Donald Senior is a priest, member of the Passionist Religious Congregation.
