Internationally known for her work on Deuteronomy and the Deuteronomistic History, Dr. Richter brings the Old Testament to life by exploring the real people and real places from which it comes.
Richter is a graduate of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and earned her doctorate from the Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations Department of Harvard University in Hebrew Bible. A veteran of many years of leading student groups in archaeological excavation and historical geography in Israel, she has taught at Asbury Theological Seminary., Wesley Biblical Seminary and Wheaton College. She is recognized among the laity for her The Epic of Eden: A Christian Entry into the Old Testament and the Epic of Eden Bible Study Series that emerged from that project. Her current research involves a forthcoming commentary on Deuteronomy with Eerdmans. She is also The Stewards of Eden: What Scripture Says about the Environment and Why it Matters (IVP 2020). Richter is a sought-after speaker in both academic and lay settings.
