Dr. Sampley taught at Drew University and Indiana University before coming to Boston University.  He has written several monographs on the letters of Paul, which is his particular research interest.  His current interests center on Pauline ethics and the relation of Paul to the Greco-Roman world that was the setting for his mission.  His pastoral experience in Charlemont, Massachusetts, has intensified Professor Sampley's commitment to training for informed ministry.  An ordained United Methodist Minister, he received the United Methodist Church's Scholar/Teacher of the Year award in 1991.
