Beth Tanner

Dr. Tanner teaches classes in Biblical Studies and Preaching. Her scholarship concentrates on the poetic texts of the Old Testament. Her current projects include a commentary on the Psalms for the NICOT series and a book for the study of the psalms in the church setting. She is ordained in the Presbyterian Church USA and is a writer for The Thoughtful Christian. Dr. Tanner notes, “I see my work as that of a Bedouin story-teller. I have been entrusted with the church’s oldest stories and songs and it is my call to tell these stories to today’s Christians so they may learn of the depth of love and grace that God has for them.”
