Edith M. Humphrey is the William F. Orr Professor Emerita of New Testament at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. Prior to emigrating, she taught at several colleges and universities in Canada, and was professor of Scripture at Augustine College, Ottawa, Canada. The author of numerous articles on the literary, rhetorical, and theological study of the Bible, she has also written ten books on subjects as varied as ancient apocalypses and Trinitarian spirituality. In her popular writing she has addressed the Jesus Seminar, the Trinity, sexuality and the human person, the authority of Scripture within the Great Tradition, and Christian spirituality. Since retiring, she has published two children's novels, Beyond the White Fence (ages 8-13), and Down the Valley (ages 9-15). She is currently working on a book which probes how the Church fathers understood justification and atonement, and well as writing her third novel for children, Crossing the Creek. An active member of the Orthodox Church, she retains strong ties with friends in various denominations, and is well known as a popular speaker at church retreats, ecumenical conferences, and seminary events. She enjoys singing in her church choir, has played oboe in a symphonic band and continues to practice piano duos with a friend. She and her husband Chris, who is an artist, have three married daughters and 23 grandchildren.
