Prof. Jeremy M. Hutton serves as Professor of Classical Hebrew Language and Biblical Literature in the Department of Classical and Ancient Near Eastern Studies at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. His academic credentials include: B.A. in Philosophy and Theology from the University of Notre Dame A.M. and Ph.D. in Hebrew Bible and Semitic Philology from Harvard University Hutton's research program bridges philological precision with theological inquiry across multiple subfields. He specializes in textual criticism of biblical manuscripts, particularly examining differences between the Masoretic Text and Septuagint versions. His work on the Deuteronomistic History explores narrative transformation through exile experiences, while his research on Palmyrene Aramaic epigraphy illuminates cross-cultural connections in the ancient Near East. Current projects examine the book of Samuel's composition history, ancient translation practices, and cognitive approaches to Hebrew semantics. His major publications include The Transjordanian Palimpsest: The Overwritten Texts of Personal Exile and Transformation in the Deuteronomistic History (2009) and Translating Empire: Tell Fekheriyeh, Deuteronomy, and the Akkadian Treaty Tradition (2019, co-authored with C. L. Crouch). His recent scholarship analyzes textual variants in Hosea 11 and the David-Goliath narrative, demonstrating how historical linguistics and manuscript analysis reveal deeper theological meanings. Hutton's work exemplifies how academic biblical scholarship can coexist with religious tradition, reflecting his institutional context where scholars have 'spent two millennia interpreting the Torah and refining their faith without being dogmatic.'
