Hannah M. Strømmen is a biblical scholar specializing in the reception of the Bible in contemporary culture and politics. She is Senior Lecturer in Bible, Politics, and Culture at Lund University, and currently holds a Wallenberg Academy Fellowship. She has written widely on the impact of the Bible in literature, philosophy, and politics in the twentieth and the twenty-first centuries. Before taking up her position at Lund, she was Reader in Biblical Studies at the University of Chichester, UK. She is a Fellow of the Center of Theological Inquiry in Princeton, where she participated in the interdisciplinary inquiry on religion and violence.

Strømmen's innovative and compelling work draws on Deleuze and Guattari's theory of assemblages to construct a fresh mode of biblical scholarship that points a way forward for the field. Theoretically sophisticated yet accessibly articulated, this work challenges biblical scholars to confront the real world effects of biblical assemblages and experiment collaboratively with possibilities for change. Creative, exciting, and ultimately transformative, Strømmen's study paves the way for a new field of biblical studies that is both ethically engaged and politically relevant.
