Nijay Gupta on “What makes a good Biblical Scholar or Theologian?”

Collaboration, curiosity, endurance, creativity, passion, courage (willing to challenge stubborn consenses), and dedication. Many of the virtues of a good detective!

I would also include social and emotional intelligence, but we all know famous scholars who bombed in this area.

~Nijay Gupta, Associate Professor of New Testament, Portland Seminary, George Fox University
