  • Richard B. Hays is the George Washington Ivey Professor of New Testament at Duke Divinity School in Durham, North Carolina. Hays received his B. A in English literature from Yale College and Masters of Divinity from Yale Divinity School, and a Ph. D from Emory University. Considered one of the world's leading New Testament scholars, Hays' work focuses on New Testament theology and ethics, the Pauline epistles, and early Christian interpretation of the Old Testament. In the field of New Testament studies, Hays has often been identified with figures such as N.T. Wright, Luke Timothy Johnson and Raymond Brown. Some of Professor Hays' studies surround the narrative interpretation of Scripture, the subjective genitive reading of pistis Christou ("faith of Christ") in Paul, and role of community in the New Testament. Hays is well known for his criticisms of the Jesus Seminar and the modern Historical Jesus movement. Recently, Hays has been vocal about his criticisms of Dan Brown's best-selling The Da Vinci Code for its controversial historical claims. Christianity Today named Hays' "Moral Vision of the New Testament" book one of the top 100 most important religious books of the 20th century. His treatment of homosexuality in "Moral Vision" has drawn some considerable attention. As a theologically conservative Methodist, he has throughout the course of his career remained committed to his Wesleyan roots in emphasizing the importance of charity and friendship in the Christian life. Moreover, Hays is a committed pacifist. He makes his position clear in The Moral Vision of the New Testament, in which he argues that Jesus Christ taught his disciples to be non-violent.
