J. Ramsey Michaels

J. Ramsey Michaels, Th.D., Harvard (May 1, 1931 – January 18, 2020) was an American theologian who was for many years a professor at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and Southwest Missouri State University. He continued to teach occasionally as an adjunct professor at Bangor Theological Seminary in Portland, Maine, and as a visiting professor at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena.[1] He is perhaps best known for his commentary on John which is a replacement volume in the New International Commentary on the New Testament series.


Career

Michaels published commentaries on Revelation, Hebrews and the Gospel of John. The latter replaced Leon Morris' commentary in the New International Commentary on the New Testament series. Michaels published scholarly articles including "Charles Thomson and the First American New Testament" in the Harvard Theological Review and "A World with Devils Filled: The Hawkes-O'Connor Debate Revisited" in the Flannery O'Connor Review.[2]

Among his last books was called Passing by the Dragon: The Biblical Tales of Flannery O'Connor (Wipf & Stock publishers).[2]
