Steve Bridge

Professor Bridge teaches Intro to the Judaeo-Christian Tradition, Intro to the Old Testament, Intro to the New Testament, Contemporary Christian Morality and New Testament Greek Practicum. He is a member of the Catholic Biblical Association, the American Academy of Religion and the Society of Biblical Literature.

In 2004, Professor Bridge organized a service trip to Haiti in cooperation with Partners and Development. The team of 10 students, staff and parents worked for a week, enduring many obstacles, including water shortages, to build a home for two families living in the worst slum of the capital city. Inspite of the challenges, the team finished not one, but two foundations.

Professor Bridge has most recently organized another service trip -- this time to San Antonio, Guatemala, for January of 2006. During this trip, the Saint Joe's team plans to build a home for one of the poorer families of a surrounding village.

In addition to the publications listed below, Professor Bridge is a featured contributor to "Understanding God's Word," a Catholic daily devotional circulating nationwide.
