Jerry Pendrick, Ph.D., has served as a Lecturer in the Department of World Languages and Literature at Spelman College since 1998. As a specialist in classical languages, literature, and culture, he is dedicated to extending knowledge of the ancient world and fostering student appreciation through Latin instruction and classical text analysis. His teaching philosophy emphasizes user-friendly rigor, building from known concepts (English) to unknown (Latin) with zero assumed prior knowledge.
Dr. Pendrick's educational background is exclusively from Columbia University in the City of New York:
- B.A., Columbia University
- M.A., Columbia University
- M.Phil., Columbia University
- Ph.D., Columbia University
His research centers on Classical Studies with focused expertise in Ancient Philosophy (particularly Sophists like Antiphon), Ancient Medicine and Rhetoric, and New Testament Studies. He bridges historical context with textual analysis, exploring intersections between nomos (law/convention) and physis (nature) in Greek philosophy while contributing to medical history and biblical exegesis through Greek linguistic analysis.
Dr. Pendrick's publication trajectory (1993-2012) reveals consistent classical scholarship with dominant themes in Greek philosophy, rhetoric, and textual criticism. His later works feature authoritative reference entries on Antiphon in major encyclopedias, while earlier articles investigate Plato's Timaeus, rhetorical theory in Plato, Galen's medical theories, and New Testament Greek. Notably, his research demonstrates interdisciplinary reach across ancient texts, medical history, and even modern literature as evidenced by his Ulysses analysis.
