Profile
Craig Tichelkamp has been involved with teaching Greek and Latin at HDS since 2014. His approach to language instruction focuses on both acquisition and learning, guiding students quickly from the study of grammar to a facility and familiarity with the language that can serve them in research and ministry.
His current course offerings cover the history of scriptural interpretation among pre-modern Christians and their neighbors. In his classroom, students sample the range of interpretive possibilities that emerge from these traditions, which, while historically and theologically distinct, also mutually inform one another.
In addition to teaching at HDS, Tichelkamp recently finished a doctoral dissertation, titled, “Experiencing the Word: Dionysian Mystical Theology in the Commentaries of Thomas Gallus (d.1246).” His translation and introduction to Gallus’s commentary on the Song of Songs is forthcoming in the Brepols series Victorine Texts in Translation. Both projects reflect Tichelkamp’s interests in Christian theology, history, literature, and pedagogy. He is also an Adjunct Professor of Religious Studies at Stonehill College in Easton, Massachusetts.
