Daniel M. Patte, Ph.D.Professor of Religious Studies
Daniel M . Patte, professor of Religious Studies and Professor of New Testament and Early
Christianity, is an internationally acclaimed scholar focusing on New Testament hermeneutic
traditions and the ethics of interpretation. He has been an active member of the Vanderbilt
University Department of Religious Studies since 1971, serving as Department Chair for nearly
two decades and subsequently as Director of Undergraduate Studies. In his capacity as Professor
in the Graduate Department of Religion he has mentored nearly one PhD candidate for every
year of his tenure at Vanderbilt University. He has received numerous honors during his years of
service to the department, the university, and the field of Religious Studies.
In the first three decades at Vanderbilt University, Daniel Patte was central to the creation of
the new field of semiotics applied to the study of the New Testament, an experiment that had its
roots in the Structural Study Group, a faculty and graduate student seminar he convened on the
Vanderbilt campus that met weekly from 1978 to 1985, with contributing members from
Religious Studies, French, German, English, Linguistics, Anthropology, and the Graduate
Department of Religion. Shortly thereafter he helped found and served as General Editor (1992-
1998) for SEMEIA: An Experimental J ournal for Biblical Criticism.
He is one of the most prolific scholars in the field of Religious Studies. In the last decade he
began to explore multicultural interpretations of the New Testament, while he also served (1998-2011) with Cristina Grenholm as General Editor for 'Romans through History and Cultures'
(T&T Clark), a series that has now produced ten volumes. He has published thirteen monographs
in English and French, served as General Editor for two volumes of the Cambridge Dictionary of
Christianity, edited thirteen books of essays or special issues of journals, composed five short
studies, translated two monographs, and contributed 196 articles and chapters in peer-reviewed
publications.
Professionally active in the American Academy of Religion, the Society for Biblical
Literature, and Studiorum Novi Testamenti Societas, Professor Patte has also garnered research
grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Lilly Endowment, the Fulbright
Program, and the Vanderbilt University Research Council.
