Romulus Stefanut
My motivation for seeking this position is threefold, driven by my extensive doctoral-level training in Biblical Studies, an unwavering passion for fostering critical biblical literacy, and a sincere desire to enhance the proficiency of our current students and future priests in this domain. To begin with, I obtained my Ph.D. in Biblical Studies from the University of Chicago, a distinguished program renowned for its comprehensive focus on both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. Prior to achieving Ph.D. candidacy, I successfully navigated seven rigorous six hour doctoral exams encompassing both Testaments, their Jewish and Graeco-Roman contexts, as well as proficiency in the original languages of Hebrew and Greek. This robust preparation has equipped me with the scholarly tools necessary for in-depth analysis of the Holy Scriptures, incorporating linguistic, historical, and cultural exegetical skills.
