He returned as assistant professor in 1968 and became Elva B. Lovell Professor of Old Testament in 1978. He was dean of academic affairs (1978-88) and also served as acting chair of the Old Testament department (1977-78) and chair of the curriculum committee (1976-77). He retired from the seminary in 2013.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paul Sponheim, Ph.D., professor emeritus, systematic theology, taught God, Evil, and Suffering with Fretheim for more than 20 years and notes his late colleague\u2019s many gifts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes faculty get torn between publishing and teaching. Terry did both superbly. Sometimes administrative agency in educational institutions is not well regarded. Terry served ably as academic dean for 10 years in a crucial period in Luther Seminary&#8217;s life,\u201d Sponheim said. \u201cI also admired the way the Scriptures came to fresh life in his writing and teaching. His passing is a huge loss for the church, the academy, and the world at large.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fretheim was an instructor in Old Testament at Augsburg University from 1961 to 1963 and assistant professor of religion at Augsburg from 1967 to 1968. Ordained in 1968, he was pastor of Dennison (Minnesota) Lutheran Church from 1968 to 1971. He was a visiting professor at McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago and both visiting professor and lecturer at the University of Chicago Divinity School.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fretheim received the Fulbright Scholarship for study in England, the Lutheran Brotherhood Seminary Graduate Scholarship, the Martin Luther Scholarship, the Fredrik A. Schiotz Fellowship Award, and the ATS Scholarship for Theological Research.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A graduate of Luther College in Decorah, Iowa (B.A., 1956), he earned an M.Div. degree from Luther Seminary in 1960 and a Th.D. degree from Princeton Seminary in 1967. He also studied at the University of Durham in England, the University of Minnesota, the University of Heidelberg in Germany, Oxford University in England, and the University of Chicago. As a Luther College alumnus, he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in 1995.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He was a member of the Catholic Biblical Association and the Society of Biblical Literature, where he served as editor of SBL Old Testament Monographs. He served on the Buddhist and Muslim task forces of the American Lutheran Church, was co-chair of the Theological Consultation for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, was president of the Minnesota Consortium of Theological Schools, and was Old Testament book editor for the Journal of Biblical Literature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fretheim published numerous books, including <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Pentateuch<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Abingdon, 1996); <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proclamation 6<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Fortress, 1997); <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First and Second Kings<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Westminster, 1999); <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">About the Bible: Short Answers to Big Questions<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Augsburg, 1999); <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In God\u2019s Image: A Study of Genesis<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Augsburg, 1999); <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jeremiah: A Commentary<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Smyth &amp; Helwys, 2002); <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">God and World in the Old Testament: A Relational Theology of Creation<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Abingdon, 2005); and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abraham: Journeys of Family and Faith<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (University of South Carolina Press, 2007).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2014, Fretheim and his wife established the Terence E. and Faith F.
