Profile of a Bible-Lover: Dr. Joey Dodson
If you ask Dr. Joseph “Joey” Dodson, Denver Seminary’s Dr. Craig L. Blomberg Endowed Chair of New Testament, what drew him to concentrate on the New Testament, he instantly answers, “Jesus.”
Joey’s passion for the New Testament is evident in his work, which has culminated in his appointment as the Blomberg endowed chair in 2022, two years after he joined the Seminary as an associate professor of New Testament.
