Dr. Timothy J. Sandoval, Chicago Theological Seminary Timothy J. Sandoval was born in San Mateo, California, to a Mexican American father and a mother of Scandinavian descent, enjoying the richness and “normalcy” of the dual cultural traditions preserved, celebrated and sometimes maligned by both sides of his family. These experiences and the queries and assumptions of others from childhood on about his identity have contributed significantly to his on-going interest in the study of the Bible, much of which itself deals with questions of identity. Sandoval now ethnically self identifies, but didn’t always, as “a person of Mexican and Scandinavian descent.” However more and more, and perhaps more evocatively, he deploys the phrase “medio-Chicano,” as his Guatemalan wife puts it. After graduating high school in California, Sandoval attended various community colleges on and off, finally graduating from the University of California, Davis, in 1990, with a major in History and a minor in Religious Studies. He received his M.Div from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1993 and his PhD in Hebrew Bible from Emory University in 2004. Sandoval has also spent two years studying in Germany, has worked on archaeological excavations in Israel and has spent a sabbatical leave in Mexico and Guatemala.
