Robert Polzin is a biblical scholar. He is Professor Emeritus at Carleton University, and has degrees from the University of San Diego and Harvard University.
Polzin is best known for a series of volumes in which he attempted a "synchronic, literary reading of the Deuteronomic History." These were "Moses and the Deuteronomist" (1980), "Samuel and the Deuteronomist" (1989), and "David and the Deuteronomist" (1993).
Polzin has also made a significant contribution to the study of Biblical Hebrew. Dong-Hyuk Kim argues that the methods Polzin developed in his 1976 study "Late Biblical Hebrew: Toward an Historical Typology of Biblical Hebrew Prose" have since been employed by a younger generation of scholars.
