Welcome Rev. Jebin Thankaraj who last week received his PTO (Permission to Officiate) at St. Catherine’s
Jebin Thankaraj is an ordained Presbyter of the Church of South India. He is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Old Testament at the University of Tübingen, Germany. His doctoral research explores the theme of “Time, Fate, and Human Agency in the Book of Ecclesiastes.” He holds secular degrees from Madras Christian College, theological training from the United Theological College, Bangalore, and advanced ecumenical studies from the Ecumenical Institute Bossey, University of Geneva. He taught Hebrew Bible at the Tamil Nadu Theological Seminary for four years before serving as pastor in various parishes of the Kanyakumari Diocese. He has contributed scholarly articles to academic, ecclesial, and ecumenical journals, and has presented papers at diverse forums, including meetings of the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL). As a student of the Hebrew Bible with pastoral experience and ecumenical exposure, his passion lies in interpreting Scripture in ways that engage both ecumenical dialogue and contextual realities.
