Theological Research & Writing

Since high school, Dr. Susanah Wilson has felt called to serve God by advancing his church. She came to Trinity in 2002 as a MAR student and started working in the Library. Part-time student work became full-time after graduation, leading to an MLIS degree from the University of Pittsburgh. Most recently, she completed her ThD.

As Director of the Library and instructor of RW 701, Theological Research and Writing, Dr. Wilson provides students with resources and tools to recognize quality sources while holding true to personal convictions. She believes the best way to form community is through vulnerability—being honest about joys and struggles. Meeting weekly with faculty for prayer and leading student advisee groups fosters this community.

The student advisee group is the highlight of Dr. Wilson's week. She also enjoys impromptu conversations about life, family, and theology, and finding obscure references for students or faculty. Her hope is that Trinity students can serve God wherever he places them as thoughtful practitioners. Raised on a dairy farm, she enjoys spending time with her two boys and the family cat, taking long walks outside, reading, knitting, baking, and yoga.
