Scott Donahue-Martens earned a Ph.D. in practical theology from Boston University. He developed a critical correlation narrative homiletic utilizing the phenomenology of Paul Ricoeur in conversation with liberation theology. His dissertation especially addressed the color-blind approach to preaching as theologically, hermeneutically, and racially troubling, partly by proposing a more interculturally competent approach. Some of his other research interests are at the intersections of popular culture and theology, trauma theory, postcolonial theology, and the Hebrew Bible. He has co-edited works on popular culture and dystopia as well as popular culture and Dungeons & Dragons. Scott is an ordained minister and a board-certified clinical chaplain. He and his family enjoy hiking in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, where they reside.
