Sandra Richter, the author of Stewards of Eden: What Scripture Has to Say About the Environment and Why It Matters (IVP 2020), is the Robert H. Gundry Chair of Biblical Studies at Westmont College. Richter earned her PhD from Harvard University’s Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations Department and her MA in Theological Studies from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. She has taught at Asbury Theological Seminary, Wesley Biblical Seminary, and Wheaton College, and due to her passion for the “real space and time” of the Bible has spent many years directing historical geography and field archaeology programs in Israel. Richter is best known in the Church for her work, The Epic of Eden: A Christian Entry into the Old Testament (IVP 2008) and a number of video curriculums stemming from the project (HarperCollins and Seedbed). She is broadly published on environmental theology and is a sought after and respected speaker on the topic in academic and popular settings.
