Robert J. Miller is Professor of Religious Studies at Juniata College in Pennsylvania, and on sabbatical he has taught at the Stockholm School of Theology in Sweden and at Eden Theological Seminary in Missouri. A Fellow of the Jesus Seminar since 1986, he is the editor of their scholarly journal and of The Complete Gospels, an anthology of twenty early gospels. He is a provocative speaker, suggesting, for example, that Jesus understood his death much differently than we do.
