Dr. Ruth Fidler serves as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Biblical Studies at Gordon Academic College of Education, Haifa, where she contributes significantly to biblical scholarship and education.
Her academic credentials include an M.A. from the University of Manchester, UK and a Ph.D. from the Hebrew University, Jerusalem, establishing her expertise in biblical textual analysis and interpretation.
Dr. Fidler's research centers on Biblical Studies with specialization in Hebrew Bible interpretation, Ancient Israelite Religion, and the role of Dream Theophanies within religious contexts. Her scholarly approach combines historical-critical methods with theological analysis to understand biblical narratives within their original cultural frameworks.
Her publications demonstrate consistent focus on narrative analysis in biblical texts, particularly examining how religious experiences like dreams function within ancient Israelite faith systems and how biblical accounts legitimize political authority. This work bridges traditional religious interpretation with academic biblical criticism.
Dr. Fidler has co-authored (with Prof. Ze'ev Weisman) and served as academic developer for the Open University course 'מבוא למקרא' (Introduction to the Bible), significantly contributing to biblical education curriculum in Israel.
