Pierre Gilbert
Pierre Gilbert grew up in Quebec City. He received a BRE and a MA (OT) from Providence College and Seminary and has a doctorate in biblical studies from the University of Montreal. Pierre has served in Montreal and Fresno, California. He presently teaches for Canadian Mennonite University.
Pierre’s academic interests focus on the Old Testament. His most recent book (2020), God Never Meant for Us to Die, offers a response to the problem of evil based on a new reading of Genesis 1-3. He is also the author of Demons, Lies, & Shadows. A Plea for a Return to Text and Reason (2008).
Pierre is married to Monika. They have three grown children: Pierre James, Rachel, and Stephen. For fun, he used to ride a 1980 Yamaha XJ 650, which he once took all the way to Steinbach, Manitoba. Now he takes his grandson to the playground and McDonald’s.
