Dr. Lynn R. Huber is a Professor of Religious Studies at Elon University in Elon, NC. Her teaching focuses on the writings of Jews and Christians living in the ancient Mediterranean world. She offers classes that are fun yet challenge students to consider how these ancient writings continue to shape the modern world. She also regularly teaches abroad in Italy and Turkey.

Professor Huber’s research focuses on the Book of Revelation. Her first book, Like a Bride Adorned: Reading Metaphor in John’s Apocalypse, a version of her Emory dissertation, examined the book’s use of metaphorical imagery, specifically nuptial imagery, to shape audience thinking. Her second book, Thinking and Seeing with Women in Revelation, expanded on the first by exploring how visionary women, including two medieval authors and two modern self-taught artists, redeployed Revelation’s bridal imagery to make meaning in new contexts. More recently, Huber published a feminist commentary on Revelation as part of the Wisdom Commentary Series, published by Liturgical Press. She began this project with her mentor and advisor, Gail R. O’Day, who passed away as they began writing. In addition to her work on Revelation, Huber has published several pieces on queer biblical interpretation and often gives talks on LGBTQIA+ approaches to the Bible.

Originally from Portland, OR, Professor Huber now lives in Burlington, NC with her spouse, Mel, and their long-haired chihuahua. She loves art-making and crafting, as well as bird-watching and foraging. She serves on the board of Alamance Pride, which hosts the local Pride festival.
