Brian Doak serves as Vice President of George Fox Digital and Professor of Biblical Studies at George Fox University, focusing on ancient languages, literatures, and their modern reception. His academic leadership bridges digital innovation with theological scholarship.
His educational foundation includes:
- PhD in Near Eastern Languages & Civilizations from Harvard University
- MA from Missouri State University
- BA from Evangel University
Doak's research spans the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, ancient Near Eastern archaeology, comparative ancient religion, and iconography. He examines how ancient texts and artifacts interact with contemporary culture, emphasizing linguistic analysis and material evidence. His six solo-authored books and Phoenician co-edited volume demonstrate interdisciplinary rigor.
Recent publications (2023-2025) reveal evolving interests: biblical giants' cultural reception on digital platforms, AI's impact on biblical education, and theological ethics in Job. His work consistently integrates textual scholarship with archaeological findings, highlighting ancient Israel's neighborly dynamics and heroic narratives.
Professionally, Doak combines academic work with practical engagement: archaeological excavation in Israel, television expertise, podcast co-hosting, and lived experience in Tanzania. His trajectory from aluminum foundry work to Harvard PhD underscores his first-generation scholar perspective.
