In 1976 Dr. Stewart read the whole Bible for the first time and became fascinated with God’s relationship with creation throughout humanity’s turbulent history. At McMaster University he majored in ancient history and never ceased to be amazed at how secular history and Biblical accounts not only intersected but supported one another. Dr. Stewart chose to study the Hebrew language at Knox College/Seminary. It was a choice he has never regretted and its benefits will be evident in his work.
His exegetical work is taken directly from Biblical Hebrew and Greek. This ability has helped him understand how ancient male bias has been promoted by the church in all ages. As a student of the Bible he has come to see how the women’s voice has often been suppressed. He has also come to appreciate that, when it is not suppressed, the beauty of God’s word shines forth. Knowledge of scripture, from the Hebrew perspective, allowed him to discover how the male voice can make a positive statement at the beginning of a story and then go on to contradict that very statement by describing the negative actions which followed. Dr. Stewart lives in Milverton, Ontario with his wife Marjorie of 45 years; they enjoy visiting their 2 children and 5 grandchildren. Retirement has given him the opportunity to research, write and play golf. His latest endeavour is a screenplay entitled Native Revenge.
