Hanne Birgitte Sødal Tveito

Hanne Birgitte Sødal Tveito is a University Lecturer in New Testament Studies at the University College of Theology, Religion and Society (MF), where she serves as Program Director for the Experiential Master in Church Teaching. Her academic career includes a Cand. theol. (1992) and PhD candidacy in Medicine (1993-1997), though her primary focus remains theological education and research.

• Education: Cand. theol. from MF (1992), History of Ideas Intermediate (1987), Music Intermediate (1986)
• Positions: University Lecturer since 1997, Chair of MF's Teacher Meeting (2016-2018)

Her research interests span Pauline theology, Johannine studies, early Christian movements, and pedagogical methods in religious education. She has co-led the 'Bible in Religious Education' project (BiT), analyzing congregational teaching practices across Norway. Her work bridges ancient texts with modern educational challenges, particularly through her edited compendiums on life philosophy and ethics.

Publications emphasize early Christian thought (e.g., Origen's teachings) and interdisciplinary approaches to biblical texts. While no awards are listed, her contributions to theological education have shaped curricula in Norwegian congregations.

Advising/Grants: Supervised courses in biblical theology and religious pedagogy. Research projects include 'Know Yourself' (2019-2022) exploring Delphic maxims in early Christian writings.
