S. Scott Bartchy (born 9 November 1936 in Canton, Ohio) is a New Testament scholar and member of The Context Group, a group of biblical scholars committed to using social-scientific interpretative methods. As a senior lecturer with security of employment, Bartchy serves as Professor of Christian Origins and the History of Religion in the Department of History, University of California, Los Angeles, where he has taught since 1981. At UCLA, Bartchy was integral to the founding of the Center for the Study of Religion and served as its director for many years.〔See UCLA's (Center for the Study of Religion's Website )〕〔Constance Dillon, "(Finding Religious Identity on Campus )," The Daily Bruin, April 6, 2007.〕 Under his leadership, the Center began offering UCLA's first undergraduate major in religious studies. ==Biography== Bartchy attended Milligan College in the 1950s, where he majored in Social Science and Religious Studies and minored in Hellenistic Greek. Bartchy states that it was at this liberal-arts Christian school in east Tennessee where he had a religious awakening. He retells an account of preaching at a local church while attending Milligan:
Bartchy graduated Milligan College in 1958 cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts. Not long after his time at Milligan, he was ordained to teaching ministry in the First Christian Church, Canton, Ohio (December 1959). He earned his Bachelor of Theological Knowledge (M.Div. equivalent) at Harvard Divinity School (1963) and his Ph.D. in New Testament at Harvard University (1971). His advisors while at Harvard were Helmut Koester, Krister Stendahl, Glen Bowersock, and John Strugnell. Among other notable New Testament scholars, he attended Harvard with the late David M. Scholer of Fuller Theological Seminary, with whom he remained a close friend for several decades. In the late 1960s and the 1970s, Bartchy taught in the internationally renowned theological faculty of the University of Tübingen, Germany, and directed the Institut zur Erforschung des Urchristentums there. Bartchy also taught New Testament studies with Emmanuel School of Religion, and later joined the efforts of the Westwood Christian Foundation in establishing a resident New Testament scholar at UCLA:
Bartchy's courses on Christian origins have consistently remained popular choices among upper division undergraduate students, enrolling well over 100 students each time it is offered.〔See (a list of classes offered by Bartchy ) on the UCLA website, with links to syllabi.〕 Bartchy has also spearheaded a graduate program in Christian origins.〔See (program description ) on UCLA's Department of History website.〕 Bartchy is also a current Board member of the Academy of Judaic, Christian, and Islamic Studies. Bartchy is also a professional jazz pianist, playing with The Scott Bartchy Quartet.〔Jenae Cohn, "(Double Lives )," The Daily Bruin, May 16, 2007〕 He has also been noted for his commitment to renewable energy, particularly in the building of his "earthship" home in Southern California.〔Kent Black, "(Off the Grid )," LA Times Magazine, September 25, 2005.〕〔Sophia Whang, "(Living with Energy )," The Daily Bruin, May 30, 2002.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「S.
