Colin Toffelmire, PhD

Dr. Toffelmire’s research is diverse but focuses especially on the prophetic literature of the Old Testament, on hermeneutics and interpretive method, on genre theory and form criticism, and on the contemporary application/reception of biblical texts. His first book is a linguistic analysis of the book of Joel, and he has recently co-edited a collection of papers entitled Theodicy and Hope in the Book of the Twelve. His most recent publications include a co-authored article on biblical and theological argument regarding ecclesial responses to poverty, and journal articles exploring genre questions in the Book of the Twelve (Minor Prophets). He is currently working on a commentary on the prophetic book of Ezekiel for Zondervan’s Exegetical Commentary on the Old Testament series. He is an accredited worker with the Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada. Dr. Toffelmire is an avid cook, and a collector of handmade Japanese kitchen knives.
