Paul R. Hinlicky is a Lutheran theologian and prolific author of about a dozen books. He has served congregations in New York and Virginia and is an eagerly anticipated speaker at church events and academic conferences alike. After 22 years of service, he retired from Roanoke College as the Tise Professor of Lutheran Theology. He is currently Distinguished Fellow and Research Professor of the Institute of Lutheran Theology. With his daughter Sarah Hinlicky Wilson, he co-hosts the podcast Queen of the Sciences: Conversations between a Theologian and Her Dad. In his spare time he farms on a piece of once exhausted, now renewing mountain soil in southwestern Virginia.
