Daniel Kirk joined Fuller in 2008 as assistant professor of New Testament at the Northern California regional campus in Menlo Park, having previously taught at Biblical Seminary and Duke Divinity School, as well as several undergraduate institutions.

A member of the Society of Biblical Literature and the Institute for Biblical Research, Kirk’s primary academic interests revolve around reading Jesus and Paul in their Jewish and Roman contexts as a first step toward understanding the mission of God and enriching the theology of the church.  His publications include articles in Journal of Biblical Literature, Journal for the Study of the New Testament, and Zeitschrift für Neues Testament, and his first book, Unlocking Romans: Resurrection and the Justification of God, was released in 2008.

He recently finished a book, provisionally titled Jesus Have I Loved, But Paul? A Storied Gospel for Followers of Jesus, that uses narrative approaches to scripture to explore the connections between the theology and ethics of Jesus and Paul. His next research project delves into the human Christology of the Synoptic Gospels.

Paul, Jesus in the Synoptic Gospels, New Testament’s use of the Old Testament, Mark, New Testament ethics, narrative theology, intertestamental history and literature
