Biography
Dr. Scott came to Tyndale from the University of Western Ontario in 2006. Many of his research interests revolve around epistemology—how we can know things about God, ourselves, and the world. His first book is Paul’s Way of Knowing: Story, Experience and the Spirit (Baker Academic, 2008). He is currently writing his second book on Jesus’ parables and the metaphorical nature of truth. Dr. Scott is also interested in Judaism during the Second Temple period, and he is co-general editor of the Online Critical Pseudepigrapha (pseudepigrapha.org), a project to publish the original-language texts of Jewish works from around the time of Jesus. Beyond traditional research like this, Dr. Scott enjoys exploring the potential of web technology to enhance the teaching and learning of ancient languages. He develops the Paideia web-app for students of New Testament Greek (learngreek.ca/paideia).
