Ryan Schellenberg serves as Professor of New Testament at Methodist Theological School in Ohio (MTSO), teaching courses including Elementary Biblical Greek I, The Corinthian Correspondence, and Paul, Jews, and Gentiles from his office in Gault Hall 239.
His academic credentials feature:
- Ph.D., University of St. Michael’s College (University of Toronto), 2012
- M.A., Mennonite Brethren Biblical Seminary, 2005
- B.A., Canadian Mennonite University, 2003
Schellenberg's research investigates the intersection of Pauline literature with social dynamics and emotional frameworks in early Christianity. His expertise spans prison contexts in antiquity (explored in Abject Joy), emotional practices in Philippians, socio-economic dimensions of Paul's generosity rhetoric, and comparative analyses of Pauline boasting traditions. He frequently connects ancient textual studies to contemporary issues such as mass incarceration, as demonstrated in his 2019 faculty lecture on Philippians.
His publication trajectory reveals sustained methodological innovation, blending social history, rhetorical criticism, and emotion theory to analyze Pauline texts. Recent works like the 2022 T&T Clark Handbook co-edited with Heidi Wendt establish comprehensive scholarly resources, while journal articles dissect specific mechanisms like epistolary prayer and subsistence economies in early Christian communities.
