Autorenporträt
Nickolas A. Fox, PhD (London School of Theology) is the Associate Dean of the Graduate School of Ministry and Assistant Professor of New Testament at Crown College, just outside the Twin Cities in Minnesota. His Doctoral work focused on Social Identity Formation among God-fearers in Luke-Acts, published as The Hermeneutics of Social Identity in Luke-Acts. In 2025 he released The Heroic Christ: The Hero's Journey in the Gospel of Luke, an intersection of his love of Luke's Gospel and narrative critical schemas, like that of Joseph Campbell. He has contributed to The Baker Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words and the Dictionary of Paul and His Letters (2nd ed.). He currently has several writing projects in process, including two books: Across the Pond: Navigating the Experience of Doing a PhD in Biblical Studies from a Distance (with co-authors Ryan Heinsch and Justin Winzenburg) and Theology, Philosophy and Severance, where he serves as the editor. Dr. Fox lives in the Twin Cities with his wife, Angela and their daughter AJ.
