"Il n'y a pas de hors-texte'."

Understanding the world’s most compelling issues by educating, challenging, and inspiring the next generation.

Don Michael Hudson is a faculty member in the King College of Arts and Sciences where he is also the Chair of the Bible and Religion Department. He specializes in the historical section (Former Prophets) of the Old Testament, and in particular, he is dedicated to understanding and reading the book of Judges in light of Syro-Palestinian archaeological evidence in tandem with modern theory and methods of study. Over the last ten years, he has studied Iron Age 1 and 2 in Palestine, Jordan, and Turkey. In Palestine-Israel, he has directed King’s participation in the  Tel Azekah excavation led by Tel Aviv University and Heidelberg University. He no longer supports this involvement in the Azekah consortium. Each summer he leads a team of undergraduate students to Palestine in pursuit of epistemological humility, excellence in scholarship, and nuanced thinking in regards to religion and geopolitics. Currently, he directs the King exchange program with Al Quds University, East Jerusalem with his colleague, Issa Sarai, and will participate in the excavations of al-Karmil in the Palestine territories. He will also join archaeologists from Lebanon in the excavation of a 5th century Byzantine site in Jordan in the next two years.

As a biblical scholar and a student of the New Hermeneutic, Hudson's insistent goal has been to understand the development and function of the religious impulse in general, but more specifically, the projected religion of ancient “Israel.” In this vein, he is currently completing a book entitled Judges: A Theological Dissensus which profiles the most recent findings and artifacts from Syro-Palestinian archaeology in the Southern Levant and how these findings illuminate the book of Judges, and, most importantly, its redacted place within the discourse of ancient Israel-Judah. He views the use of Judges as a post-exilic document reifying the Judahite claim to a "particular" land and an amorphous history.  Though Judges is most definitely a post-exilic, Judahite work, we can view some of the latest impulses of the post-exilic Judahite community, and we can trace the evolution and development of this particular religious impulse through Iron 2 and into the Persian-Hellenistic period. Through Judges, we can view the terminus of redacted theo-political historiography which becomes the genesis of both Jewish and Christian understandings of ancient history.

Also, for three decades now, Don has studied and emphasized the need for a fresh approach to reading and understanding the Christian Scriptures especially as we move into the 21^st century. Global, modern Christianity suffers the stigma of anti-science and anti-reason (rightly deserved), but more importantly, it also faces the stark reality of irrelevance in an increasingly complex world. Can we read the Christian Scriptures in a way that addresses the human condition in a relevant, helpful manner? Can we answer the question, “So What?” in meaningful, intelligent ways? What do these texts and narratives have to say to people in the modern age?

With these issues and questions in mind, he co-founded the Seattle School of Theology and Psychology in 1996. He crafted the original vision of the school, hired faculty and staff, recruited students, raised funds, and designed the curriculum for the MA in Theology and the MDiv. He and his team developed all the courses in an attempt to redesign graduate studies for the 21^st century. The Seattle School continues to thrive with over 200 graduate students annually. After joining the Philosophy and Religion department at Appalachian State, Dr. Hudson developed innovative pedagogies to engage college students with the pressing issues related to religion in the modern age.

At King University he has developed an innovative class titled Foundations of Christian Thought and Practice. As a central component to a liberal arts education it is important for students to understand and articulate the Christian religion in the modern age. This class has been popular with students and has garnered national attention. This course is not only core to King University but also central to his teaching philosophy in regards to the relevance and limitations of religion. Each student must reflect critically upon his or her worldview, and understand what an academic study of religion entails with a particular emphasis on distinguishing the difference between moderate and militant religious expressions. As a final project, each student must produce an articulate, objective, and informed written presentation of the Christian worldview as one foundation for Western civilization.

He has also served as visiting professor at universities in Perth; Australia (1999), Vienna, Austria (1997); Kiev, Ukraine (1998, 1999); Monterrey, Mexico (2002); St. Petersburg, Russia (1998); Manila, Philippines (1994); London; England (1991); and Beijing, China (1999, 2000). Dr. Hudson has advised approximately 30 undergraduate and graduate students who have presented research at regional, national, and international conferences.

As chair of the Bible and Religion, Dr. Hudson has been actively promoting undergraduate research and scholarly activities in the College of Arts and Sciences. He also promotes education in his community by speaking regularly at churches, local high schools, community colleges, universities, student organizations and with local news media about religious expressions and their interaction with modern society.

Don has authored, co-authored, or edited five books and written over 30 essays and articles in journals such as Imagiato et Ratio, Dictionary of Biblical Imagery, Mars Hill Review, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament, Inklings, The Everyday Study Bible, Sojourners, and Zeitschrift fur die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft. He also founded and co-directed the Mars Hill Review where he served as concept editor for nine years.  He has given more than 500 research and public scholarship presentations in 47 states and 14 countries. He has also been a consultant with international organizations managing refugee populations in Germany, Austria, and Turkey.

I also developed and taught an innovative way to teach Hebrew and Greek incorporating the latest digital and Internet technology. At The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology, we had students who studied Hebrew and Greek to use in a ministry setting, and we also had other students who studied Hebrew and Greek to carry on to advanced, professional degrees. I developed a two-track process to train our students in the best manner possible. Although I focused on the teaching of Hebrew language and literature and New Testament Studies, I also emphasized the interaction of other disciplines and the intertextuality of disparate texts with similar codes of signification. Since the beginning of my academic career, I have devoted my life to seeking connections between arenas of thinking. As a professor and lecturer, I focus on the intertextuality of art, literature, film, philosophy, psychology, and religion.

• Director, Associate with Al Quds University Institute of Archaeology, East Jerusalem 2015-Present

• Director, King University Tel Azekah Consortium 2012-2016

• Chairman of Bible and Religion Department, King University, Bristol, TN 2011-Present

1. Redesigned the Bible and Religion Department to the Philosophy and Religion 2011

3. Hired a full-time philosophy professor 2012

4. Redesigned the Bible and Religion degree to Religious Studies major and minor

5. Added Biblical Studies major and minor

6. Redesigned Intercultural Studies minor to reflect 21st century realities and concerns

7. Redesigned the Old Testament Introduction and New Testament into a more accessible and relevant course for King students: Foundations of Christian Thought and Practice 2011. Foundations is a general education religion requirement at King University. King is a Presbyterian affiliated school, and understanding the Judeo-Christian tradition is a major component of the core curriculum. Foundations takes an academic approach to a critical, thoughtful overview of the Judeo-Christian tradition and an introduction to the critical research of religion in general. The end goal is to guide students through the analysis and articulation of a Judeo-Christian worldview. Essentially, the course is a lesson in critical thinking and an examination of how we as human beings construct values and meaning. Foundations grounds itself in the Jewish and Christian Scriptures and invites the students to base every assumption in the text and encourages students to critically reflect on their own worldviews. As the designer of this course (2010) and the professor, it is very important to me that my students comprehend the difference between theological suppositions grounded in conjecture, and the study of religion based on good analysis and criticism. King, as a confessional institution, places great stress on an historical Christian worldview; and yet, also wants to be a welcoming place to all students no matter what their particular faith or non-faith tradition. One of my major goals in this course is to teach the Judeo-Christian tradition in a non-threatening, non-coercive manner thus honoring King’s history and tradition on the one hand, and on the other I want this course to function as an essential component to a liberal arts education. I think this approach is also important for my confessional students to comprehend this hermeneutic in the hopes that they will execute more rigorous self-criticism and develop broader, more expansive worldviews. This summer class, taught online, relies mostly on reading and writing to accomplish the goals of this course. The online course utilizes numerous multi-media approaches.

Key Pedagogical strategies:

Students write 8 reflective critiques during the course. Each critique is based on an activity or reading centered around one of the twelve major themes presented in the course. Students reflect on the theme for that module, how it is grounded in the Jewish-Christian Scriptures, what that means in relation to Judeo-Christianity, and how it relates to pressing issues in the 21st century. Students are asked to make meaningful reflections rooted in the text being studied.

The final assessment for this course is a five to seven page Christian worldview. Most students choose 2-3 themes essential to the Christian tradition and then explain how these themes inform this worldview. Students are graded on a rubric, which analyzes for organization, clear and competent ideas, conventions and grammar, comparison and contrast to other world religions and the analysis of biblical texts.

I directed this seminar to men and sought to provide thoughtful consideration of men’s issues for personal growth and development, personal change, discovering healing with regards to relationships, and how to live lovingly and sincerely in our day-to-day lives. I developed the presentation, developed the marketing, produced the written brochures, radio and television spots, and helped coordinate the events throughout America and various foreign countries. This also included numerous smaller events for a focused population in Breckenridge, CO, Sandy Cove, MD, and Key West, FL.

• Founder of “Romancing the Heart,” an international seminar 1994-2002. I directed this seminar to people of all ages and populations in order to provide a catalyst for a new way of thinking about faith and activism in the world-at-large. I developed the presentation, conceptualized the marketing, produced the written brochures, radio and television spots, and helped coordinate the events throughout America and various foreign countries. This also included numerous smaller events for a focused population both nationally and internationally.
