Featured Author: Rebekah Eklund
Rebekah Eklund is associate professor of theology and chair of the Theology Department at Loyola University Maryland where, in addition to theology, she also teaches on Scripture and ethics. She has written widely on everything from the significance of Jesus's laments in the New Testament to the representation of Jesus in popular films.
Dr. Eklund's new book with Eerdmans is called The Beatitudes through the Ages. It is a reception history that explores how the Beatitudes have been read and interpreted over the last couple thousand years across differing eras and contexts. The book ultimately shows how reading the Beatitudes in the company of past readers helps us see how rich and multifaceted the Beatitudes truly are, illuminating what they might mean for us today.
An ordained minister in the Evangelical Covenant Church, Dr. Eklund also enjoys trail running, cooking, and watching the Baltimore Ravens. Follow her on Twitter at @RebekahAEklund.
