About Dr. Hal Taussig

Dr. Hal Taussig reimagines ancient texts, pretexts, and historical contexts as a way toward 21st-century trust, honesty, and—most of all—vulnerability. His study of ancient Mediterranean practices opens up new historical perspectives and challenges conventional Christian dogma. Hal spends his retirement writing, publishing, researching, and playing in natural and urban settings, where he also pursues his interest in death and vitality. He is just finishing up his fifteenth and sixteenth books, and edging toward poetry and wilderness. His professional career included a Professorate of New Testament at Union Theological Seminary in New York for 17 years, a Professorate at Chestnut Hill College, Pastor of Chestnut Hill United Church in Philadelphia, Graduate Faculty of Creation Spirituality, and Pastorate of the Oekolompadgemeinde in Switzerland.
