Lawrence University. Originally from Kingston, New York, Dr. Greenwald earned his B.A. in astronomy from the University of Pennsylvania in 1970, a Master of Arts in Hebrew Letters from Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in 1973 where he was ordained “rabbi” in 1975. He earned his Ph.D. in New Testament and Christian Origins at Boston University in 1989. His academic focus is the history of the New Testament Canon. In what he calls his “other life,” he is also an avid birder who has travelled to many parts of the world looking for birds and has served for 39 years as a volunteer naturalist for the Appalachian Mountain Club, most recently training hut naturalists in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. His membership on the board is the culmination of a life-long interest in classical music.
