Dr Edwina Blair has been a faculty member at the Australian College of Ministries (ACOM) for over fifteen years. She serves as Academic Quality & Research Manager and as an Associate Lecturer in Biblical Studies, specialising in the Hebrew Bible. She also leads the ACOM Holy Land International Fieldwork Program, which has taken more than one hundred students and friends of ACOM to Israel and Jordan since 2014. In addition to her work at ACOM, Edwina serves as Academic Strategy Officer in the Office of the Dean at the Australian University College of Divinity (AUCD), where she works alongside the Director of Academic Strategy in supporting academic planning and strategic initiatives across the College.
Her doctoral research examined divine anthropomorphism in the Hebrew Bible, with particular attention to the depiction of God’s sense of smell within sacrificial contexts. Her research engages questions of anthropomorphic language, sensory imagery, and the theology of the sacrificial system in the Hebrew Bible.
Edwina has published two chapters in Testing Us, Testing God: Assessment and Theological Competency (SCD Press, 2023) and was one of the editors of Embracing Life and Gathering Wisdom: Theological, Pastoral and Clinical Insights into Human Flourishing at the End of Life (SCD Press, 2020).
She is an endorsed minister in NSW Churches of Christ and a Fellow of the Institute for the Study of Christianity in an Age of Science and Technology (ISCAST).
