J. Gunnar Samuelsson
I was born and raised on Hönö, an island in the northern archipelago of Gothenburg, married with Linda since 1992, with whom I have five children (Rebecca b. 1995, Hannah b. 1999, and the triplets Daniel, Esther and Johannes born 2008). I have regularly been lecturing in Bible and history related colleges and churches since 1987, and have been a parish minster for six years. Before my doctoral studies began my main topics were the History of the Ancient Mediterranean World and the Old Testament.
Having received my Pastor and Missionary Degree in 1992, I went to the University of Gothenburg and the Department of Religious Science with Old Testament Studies and Studies in Faith and Philosophies in focus. I received a B.A. and a M.Th. in 1997 with Studies in Faith and Philosophies as main topic. The same year I was ordained as minister in Mission Covenant Church of Sweden. After some years as pastor, I continued with more Biblical Studies, now the New Testament, combined with Classical Greek and Latin at the Department of Classical Philology. I received an M.A. in 2000 with New Testament and Classical Languages as main topic. From 2001 until 2007 I was a Th.D. Student and taught New Testament Greek and New Testament. Since 2007, I still teach New Testament Greek and New Testament at what has now become the Department of Literature, History of Ideas and Religion. I defended my doctoral thesis Crucifixion in Antiquity on May 21 in 2010.
I am presently Senior Lecturer of New Testament Studies at the University of Gothenburg. I am working on two research projects. One that continues with the topic of crucifixion from the spot where my doctoral thesis ended, and another that deals with (Jewish) Early Christianity and Christian anti-Semitism.

“Gunnar Samuelsson has a rare distinction, for his work received attention, perhaps even notoriety, prior to its publication. Apart from the reports on subject specific blogs, the content of this thesis was being communicated through global media outlets such as CNN and Pravda. […] The breadth of primary data assembled will be of great benefit to subsequent generations of scholars.”
Paul Foster in The Expository Times 123 (3) 2011, 122-124
"I den här boken står bibel och kyrka i centrum. Artiklarna, som alla är nyskrivna, spänner över bibeltolkningens vida fält med varierande infallsvinklar.
Vi får möta frågan om kyrkan hemlighållit vissa upplysningar om Jesus och vi får ta del av nya rön inom bibelforskningen, till exempel om "kvinnotexter" i lukasskrifterna, pingstfestens dag och liknelsetolkning. Några artiklar lyfter fram gudstjänstfirande, dop och förbön i ett bibelteologiskt perspektiv. Andra visar hur trosfrågor diskuteras i dag, till exempel synen på frälsning och kyrka, betydelsen av försoning samt ondskan på film.
En återkommande utgångspunkt för dessa artiklar är impulser från Lennart Thörns verksamhet som exeget, lärare och pastor. Boken är skriven av Thörns studenter, kollegor och vänner som en hyllning för hans banbrytande insatser i kyrka och akademi, men också som en inbjudan till fördjupad teologisk reflektion kring bibel, gudstjänst och tro i vår tid."
