Dr Jione Havea - BA, MDiv, MTS, PhD
Senior Lecturer in Biblical Studies: Hebrew Bible & OT
United Theological College & Charles Sturt University
Jione Havea is a native of Tonga, ordained by the Methodist Church of Tonga, but now living in Australia. He received his PhD from Southern Methodist University in 2000, and he is interested in various cultural modes of thinking, reading and behaving, as those relate to, and are driven and coerced by, biblical and popular texts. He likes to congregate with islanders at Parklea Prison, and to enjoy a good laugh with the Fofo‘anga mob over a bowl of kava and a deck of cards.
Jione is on many Australian and international editorial and advisory boards, especially within the Society of Biblical Literature. His current research includes two books, Out of Place: Theology at the Brink (Equinox), and Daughters of the Land (SPCK).
