Jouette Bassler

Jouette M. Bassler is an American biblical scholar in Pauline theology who is Professor Emeritus of New Testament at Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University.

Early life and education

Born Jouette McCurdy, Bassler initially trained in chemistry, earning both a BA and an MA from Rice University before turning to biblical studies.[1] She completed her PhD in New Testament studies at Yale University in 1982.[2] Her doctoral dissertation, Divine Impartiality: Paul and a Theological Axiom, was supervised by Nils A. Dahl.[3] Bassler explored the concept of divine impartiality as a key theological principle in Pauline thought.[4] The work laid a foundation for her later scholarship on Pauline theology.[3]

Career

In 1979, Bassler was elected a member of the Catholic Biblical Association of America. She has written a number of books and served as general editor of the Journal of Biblical Literature from 1995 to 1999. She also served as New Testament editor for the HarperCollins Study Bible.[5] Her 1994 article on the Pastoral Epistles has been "extremely influential in feminist interpretations."[6] In 2007, a festschrift of nineteen essays was published in her honor.[7]
