Our friend and brother in Christ, Dr. Victor Hamilton, was professor of Old Testament studies at Asbury College (now Asbury University) for 36 years, and following retirement, served as scholar in residence for five years.  A noted teacher and preacher, Vic’s spoken at a number of other college campuses, as well as for retreats, pastors’ seminars, family conferences, camp meetings, and more recently, overseas in Japan and Jamaica.

Vic’s degrees include a BA from Houghton College; a BD and ThM from Asbury Theological Seminary; and an MA and PhD in Mediterranean Studies from Brandeis University.  His special areas of interest in the classroom are Pentateuch, Jeremiah, preaching from the Old Testament and Old Testament theology.

Vic has published several books and commentaries on the Old Testament which are widely used and translated into other languages. Vic also served on the translation team for two modern Bible versions, the New King James version and the New Living Translation and has written notations for several of the most popular study bibles and bible dictionaries.

Vic and his wife Shirley have been married for nearly 60 years, and have four married children and thirteen grandchildren.  Both Vic and Shirley were born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, and have dual citizenship, Canadian and American.  Vic is ordained in the Wesleyan Church, and while he and Shirley have their membership in the Milliken Wesleyan Church in Markham, Ontario, they have been attending the Wilmore Free Methodist Church for nearly 20 years.
