Rev. Terry Ann Smith, Ph.D. is the associate dean of certificate studies and associate professor of biblical studies at New Brunswick Theological Seminary. Her research interests and publications focus on inspections of the Hebrew Bible that expose normalized, inequitable distributions of power and privilege as they intersect with categories of ethnicity, class, and gender. As an ordained minister, Dr. Smith is particularly interested in contextualized sociopolitical readings of biblical texts that foster conversations within the church and address the Bibles theological, practical, and ethical applications.
