Dr. Thomas P. Dixon

Biography

Dr. Dixon joined the Christian Studies department in 2017. Before arriving at Campbell, Dr. Dixon taught as Part-time Lecturer at Rutgers University and at Princeton Theological Seminary, with courses in New Testament, apocalypticism, Greek, and Hebrew. His courses continue to focus on New Testament, Greek, and biblical exegesis.

His publications include scholarly articles on divine judgment and mercy in Romans (2020, 2023), Martin Luther King Jr.’s treatment of Law in relation to Martin Luther (2021), King’s use of divine judgment imagery (2016), and epistemology in the Dead Sea Scrolls (2014). Last year he published a monograph with Baylor University Press entitled Paul and the Wrath: Divine Judgment and Mercy for Israel in Romans 9–11. This book examines Paul’s often misunderstood conception of divine wrath as it emerges in Romans and elsewhere in the apostle’s theology. He has presented papers on Pauline theology and exegesis, MLK, and medieval interpretation of Paul at many academic conferences.

He has served churches in various capacities, including homeless ministry, adult education, children’s ministry, and pulpit supply.
