Biography

Adam received a bachelor's degree from Bowdoin College (1979) majoring in philosophy. He earned an M.Div. (1986) and S.T.M. (1987) from Yale Divinity School and was ordained as an Episcopal priest. He received a Ph.D. in New Testament from Duke University in 1991, where he developed his thesis, "New Testament Theology and the Problem of Modernity" under Dan O. Via. After receiving his doctorate from Duke, he went to become Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at Eckerd College from 1991 to 1994. He was appointed Assistant Professor of New Testament at Princeton Theological Seminary, where he taught for 5 years (1994–1999). From 1999-2008, Adam was Professor of New Testament at Seabury-Western Theological Seminary.

At the end of his time at Seabury Adam completed a one-year appointment as Visiting Professor at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. In 2009 he moved to Glasgow, Scotland, joining the staff of the University of Glasgow as lecturer in New Testament Studies in September 2009;[1] beginning in Michaelmas 2013, he joined the staff of St Stephen's House, Oxford, as Tutor in New Testament, and Oriel College as College Lecturer in Theology.[2]

Throughout his academic career, Adam has also served the Episcopal Church as a priest, including the Parish of St. Luke's in Evanston, Illinois, and St. Mary's Cathedral, Glasgow.[3]

Projects and presentations

He has also invested much energy into technology and web based projects including co-founding the Disseminary, and stirring up many discussions on his personal blog. At the Conference on Theology and Pedagogy, hosted at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary in 2001, he presented "The Disseminary: What Theological Educators Need to Learn from Napster."[4] In October 2003, he presented at BloggerCon on the topics of "Weblogs and Education," and "Weblogs and Spirituality,"[5] In an interesting exploration of shared text, he encouraged the blogosphere to demonstrate the power of Creative Commons licences by recording chapters of Lawrence Lessig's "Free Culture". At Ars Electronica 2008 he presented "The Obscure Convergence of Theological Publishing and Technological Innovation".[6]

Works

Adam is a widely published author whose books, articles, sermons and multi-media projects have contributed to the fields of theology, hermeneutics, technology, philosophy, truth and meaning, Biblical interpretation, community, digital identity, digital rights, and collaborative spaces in education. His books to date have primarily been concerned with the postmodern implications of understanding and processing the text and meaning of the New Testament.
