Dr. Erica Mongé-Greer
Author • Biblical Educator • Speaker
I’m Dr. Erica Mongé-Greer, an author, scholar, educator, and speaker exploring the intersections of ethics, leadership, religion, and culture. My work brings rigorous scholarship into meaningful conversations about the questions that shape our communities, influence our decisions, and challenge our understanding of the world. Through speaking, consulting, workshops, and educational programming, I work with individuals and organizations in academic, professional, and faith-based settings.
⸻
Thoughtful Scholarship. Meaningful Engagement.
I believe that the most valuable conversations often begin with difficult questions.
- What makes leadership ethical?
- How do the stories we inherit shape our values?
- What can ancient texts teach us about justice, power, and responsibility?
- How can we approach deeply held beliefs with both intellectual rigor and genuine curiosity?
These questions guide my work as a researcher, writer, and educator. Drawing on biblical scholarship, ancient history, ethical inquiry, and cultural analysis, I create opportunities for thoughtful discussion, critical reflection, and practical learning.
Work With Me
Speaking & Presentations
Engaging ideas. Compelling conversations.
I offer keynote presentations, lectures, and speaking engagements exploring biblical ethics, leadership, culture, mythology, and the relationship between ancient ideas and contemporary life. Whether addressing an academic audience, a professional organization, or a community gathering, I aim to make complex ideas accessible, relevant, and intellectually engaging.
Ethics & Leadership Consultation
Thoughtful perspectives for complex decisions.
Leadership requires more than strategy. It calls for reflection on values, responsibility, human relationships, and the ethical consequences of our decisions. I offer consultation informed by biblical ethics, interdisciplinary research, and critical approaches to power and leadership.
Consultations can be tailored to organizational, educational, and religious contexts, with particular attention to ethical interpretation, leadership responsibilities, and institutional values.
Customized Workshops & Educational Programs
Learning experiences designed to challenge and inspire.
I design and facilitate interactive workshops and educational programs for organizations, leadership teams, churches, and community groups. Topics include ethical leadership, biblical interpretation, power and justice, cultural narratives, and the ways beliefs influence individual and collective decisions.
Programs can be customized for different audiences and adapted to professional development, organizational learning, or community education.

Meet Erica
I’m a scholar, author, and educator with a PhD in Divinity from Trinity College Bristol / University of Aberdeen and more than fifteen years of experience teaching in higher education. My academic specialization is the Hebrew Bible and ancient Near Eastern literature, with particular attention to ethics, justice, leadership, and the relationship between ancient narratives and contemporary cultural questions.
My work also extends beyond traditional biblical scholarship to explore religion, philosophy, mythology, and popular culture. Across my research, writing, and teaching, I return to one central conviction: careful interpretation and thoughtful dialogue can expand our understanding of ourselves, our communities, and our responsibilities toward others.
