Ray Lubeck, D.Th.
Biography:
My name (and officially preferred title) is Ray. I was born a Texan to Canadian parents and German grandparents. I grew up in deserts, but now I live in green, green Portland. I like smoked oyster pizza, playing acoustic guitar and 5-string fretless bass, hanging with students and friends and grandkids, and watching “wildlife” like Seahawks and Ducks. I’ve taught at Multnomah for over two centuries (in dog years). I’ve had my ‘stache for 10.0 years (in Celsius). And I’ve been happily married for over four decades (in normal years) to my wife, Tamara (actually, far better than normal).
After graduating from Multnomah, I attended five different graduate schools in four different countries on three different continents. I am now a professor and so I still go to school every day. And I’m thankful for that every morning!
Writing
I’ve written Reading the Bible for a Change (2 eds.) and Swallowing Jonah: Strategies for Reading Biblical Narratives, edited Ed Goodrick’s Is My Bible the Inspired Word of God?, and contributed book chapters, articles, papers, and reviews for a number of publications.
Ministry
My wife and I are actively engaged in our church, including involvement in preaching, teaching, and worship team.
Most of all, I desire to grow in my love life with Jesus, my wife, my family, my church, my students, my community and with others.
