Roy E. Gane, originally from Australia, is Professor of Hebrew Bible and Ancient Near Eastern Languages at the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary of Andrews University. He completed his Ph.D. in biblical Hebrew language and literature at the University of California, Berkeley in 1992, specializing in the biblical sanctuary services. Before moving to Andrews University, he taught in the Religion Department of Pacific Union College 1992-94. He served as President of the Adventist Theological Society 2009-10. Dr. Gane is particularly interested in applying relevant principles from biblical laws and sanctuary worship to modern lives of faith that are accepting transformation by Christ, through the Holy Spirit, in preparation for His Second Coming. His speaking has taken him to five continents for events such as camp meetings, pastors’ meetings, and Bible conferences. Dr. Gane has authored numerous articles for scholarly and lay readers, Adult Bible Study Guides (Sabbath School quarterlies) on Judges and Isaiah, and seven books. Dr. Gane is the adoring husband of Connie, a Mesopotamian archaeologist who also teaches at the Seminary, and father of Sarah, a student at Andrews University majoring in Religion and Anthropology.
