Teaching Focus

Dr. Marshall’s teaching focus (and passion) is Classical Biblical Hebrew and Hellenistic Greek.  He also tremendously enjoys teaching the introductory Old Testament course to new and transfer students.  His areas of specialization are the Septuagint, early Greek translations of the Hebrew Bible, textual criticism, Hebrew and Greek grammar, and biblical exegesis.

Additional Information

His research interests include grammatical study of the biblical languages, exegesis of biblical texts, Old Testament textual criticism, biblical theology, and translation studies.  Dr. Marshall contributed numerous dictionary entries for both Greek and Hebrew words in Mounce’s Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words (Zondervan, 2006), and he is presently preparing his doctoral dissertation, “A Critical Edition of the Hexaplaric Fragments of Ecclesiastes,” for publication by Peeters Publishers of Leuven as a volume of The Hexapla Project series.
