Shawn Flynn

Dr Flynn is an Associate Professor of Hebrew Bible at St. Joseph's College (University of Alberta). He is also the Vice-President (Academic) and Dean at St. Joseph's College.

Flynn's broad area of research and academic publishing focuses on the formation of Israelite beliefs during the Iron Age (1200-586 BCE). He employs a comparative analysis between the Hebrew Bible and its larger cultural matrix, primarily Mesopotamia, to explore emerging and shifting ideas of divinity, while also working on ancient children.
