faculty assistant
François Bovon was a professor from 1967 to 1993 at the University of Geneva, in its Divinity School,
which was founded by John Calvin in 1559. He was dean there from 1976 to 1979, and is still an honorary professor of the
University of Geneva. He began teaching New Testament and early Christian literature at Harvard in 1993, and was chair of
the New Testament Department from 1993 to 1998, and again in 2001-02. In recent years he has developed his teaching and
research in two directions: the exegesis of New Testament texts, particularly the Gospel of Luke, and the publication and
interpretation of non-canonical Acts of the Apostles, particularly the Acts of Philip, legends on Stephen, the first
Christian martyr, and apocryphal fragments. His critical commentary on Luke, in four volumes, will soon be completed in
German, French, Spanish, and Italian. The first volume in English appeared in
Hermeneia, published by Fortress Press, in 2002. The second and the third, published together, appeared in Italian in 2007.
His critical edition of the Acts of Philip, done in collaboration with Bertrand Bouvier and Frédéric Amsler,
was published as volume 11 in the
Corpus Christianorum: Series Apocryphorum by Brepols in 1999. His book The Last Days of Jesus was published in 2006,
and a Spanish translation appeared in 2007.
