Reverend Robert Allan Hill teaches in the areas of New Testament and Pastoral Theology.\u00a0 Since 1981 he has taught in several schools including McGill University, Syracuse University, Lemoyne College, Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School, Northeastern Seminary, United Seminary, and various church settings.\u00a0 His passionate interest lies at the intersection of Scripture and life, especially in the work of preaching.\u00a0 Hence his research has combined publication related to the Gospel of John and Gnosticism, on the one hand, and preaching in ministry, on the other.\u00a0 For example, An Examination and Critique of the Understanding of the Relationship between Apocalypticism and Gnosticism in Johannine Studies<\/i><\/a>appeared in 1997, and The Courageous Gospel <\/i>\u00a0in 2013, while Snow Day: Reflections on the Practice of Ministry in the Northeast<\/i><\/a> was published in 2000 and\u00a0Renewal: Thought, Word, and Deed <\/i>in 2009.<\/p>\n

At Boston University School of Theology<\/a>, Hill teaches one course in New Testament each year (usually fall term, and usually the Gospel of John), and one course in Pastoral Theology each year (usually spring term, and usually a course in Preaching or Pastoral Leadership).<\/p>\n

Most of his writing, however, has been devoted to weekly sermons, over thirty five years, in ten pulpits, some of which are collected, taped and published.\u00a0 Hill has taught Greek, New Testament, Preaching, the Practice of Ministry, Church Administration, and other courses.\u00a0 His perspective on pastoral theology focuses on the special needs of the church in the Northeastern USA in the 21st Century.\u00a0 Publications in these areas include Renewal: Thought, Word, and Deed<\/i> (2009)<\/a>,Seeing with the Heart: Devotions from Marsh Chapel<\/i> (2010)<\/a>, and Prophetic Protestant Sermons on America\u2019s War in Iraq: Marsh Chapel, Boston University<\/i>(2010)<\/a> , and three other collections of sermons and devotions. (Dean Hill\u2019s eleven books may also be purchased through the Marsh Chapel office<\/a> for $10 each). In addition, he has written or co-authored and published a number of articles, chapters, sermons and essays, which are listed in the resume.<\/p>\n

Bob Hill has been preaching since 1976.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11144,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/prsocial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/58136"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/prsocial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/prsocial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/prsocial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11144"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/prsocial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/58136\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":71906,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/prsocial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/58136\/revisions\/71906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/prsocial\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58136"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
