Ryan Bonfiglio

Dr. Ryan Bonfiglio joined the Candler faculty in 2018 serving as an Associate Professor in the Practice of Old Testament and Executive Director of The Candler Foundry, a new initiative that seeks to bridge the gap between the church and the academy by making seminary-level learning accessible and engaging for the broader public. He previously taught at Columbia Theological Seminary and served as the John H. Stembler Scholar in Residence at the First Presbyterian Church (USA) of Atlanta.
