Gary Gilbert, Associate Director

Gary Gilbert (assistant professor of religious studies) received his B.A. in Classics from Haverford College and Ph.D. in biblical studies from Columbia University, where he also studied ancient Jewish history and literature at the Jewish Theological Seminary and New Testament and early Christianity at Union Theological Seminary. Gary has taught at the University of Pittsburgh, and in 1998 began his current position as assistant professor in the department of philosophy and religious studies at Claremont McKenna College. He is the first, full-time faculty member at the Claremont colleges to be appointed in the area of Jewish studies. In 2006-2007 Gary was a visiting scholar at the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies. Gary is the author of several articles on topics related to the study of Judaism in antiquity and is currently working on a book that examines the influence of Roman political thought on the development of early Christian identity, particularly as represented in the Gospel of Luke and Acts of the Apostles.
