Dr. Knight grew up surrounded by the cornfields of central Illinois, before she headed off to college to pursue ministry through teaching. She completed an M.Div. (at TEDS), where she focused her study on biblical languages and exegesis, then went on to pursue a Ph.D in Old Testament with a focus on biblical theology. While Dr. Knight was completing her doctoral work at Wheaton College, she taught Hebrew language and Old Testament courses as a Guest Professor at Wheaton and an Adjunct Professor at TEDS. In 2018, she graduated with her Ph.D. and joined the faculty at TEDS later that year. Dr. Knight is the author of The Prophet’s Anthem: The Song of Deborah and Barak in the Narrative of Judges (BUP, 2024). She also serves as Senior Reviewer for the Historical Books for the New Living Translation. Her current research interests include narrative criticism, theology of the Old Testament, the Former Prophets (esp. Joshua and Judges), and poetry in biblical narrative. Dr. Knight and her husband, Kenyon, have a son, Oliver. Outside of school, she enjoys a good latte, purring cats on her lap, and strolls in the prairie near her home.
