Findlay, Ohio – Dr. Louis Stulman, professor of religious studies at The University of Findlay, has been honored as an “Excellence in Education” award winner by Ohio Magazine.

Stulman is recognized in the magazine’s December issue for his contribution and dedication to achieving excellence in education. The annual award celebrates higher learning and recognizes distinguished professors across the state for making a difference in students’ lives in and out of the classroom.

“I have tried to create an environment of hospitality where students learn and even risk failure, without the fear of rejection and abject criticism,” Stulman reflected. As such, my students realize that I care about them, that I expect their best, and that I will support them in their triumphs and failures.”

Stulman has taught in the University’s Religious Studies Program since 1997.  Stulman is an expert on the Hebrew Bible, the Old Testament, prophets, ancient Near Eastern studies and Jeremiah. He has authored six books and numerous articles including “Jeremiah: Abingdon Old Testament Commentaries,” “Troubling Jeremiah” and “Order Amid Chaos: Jeremiah As Symbolic Tapestry.”

He received many awards, including the Founder’s Academic Excellence Award for Faculty, Who’s Who in the Midwest and Drew University’s Hebrew Bible Award. He holds a B.A. from Roberts Wesleyan College, a M. Phil. and a Ph.D. from Drew University, and he has done post-doctoral work at the University of Michigan.
