Paul S. Evans

Paul joined the faculty at McMaster Divinity College in 2009 after teaching Biblical Studies for three years at Ambrose University and Seminary in Calgary, Alberta and specializes in Old Testament studies and in his teaching and research emphasizes the theological significance of the Old Testament and the value of its application for the Church today. Currently, Paul is writing a two-volume commentary on 1-2 Chronicles for The New International Commentary on the Old Testament series published by Eerdmans. Paul has finished writing his commentary The Second Book of Chronicles which is to be published in 2027. In addition Paul has many research articles in print, with most focussed on the historical books of the Old Testament. Many of Paul’s articles are accessible through Academia.edu

Paul was raised in British Columbia, a pastor’s son, and acquired a passion for the Bible early in life. Before teaching at the university level, he previously served in pastoral ministry in both Alberta and Ontario and continues to be enthusiastic about the Church and its mission. Paul frequently preaches in local churches in Hamilton and the Greater Toronto Area.
