Fr. Jim Nisbet

Teaching Scripture is Fr. Jim Nisbet's favorite ministry both at home in Spreckels, California and abroad. As pastor of St. Joseph's Parish, Fr. Jim has taught parishioners, prisoners, seminarians, and university students. A much requested speaker, he has brought his Scriptural insights, factual information, and humor to workshops and conferences on four continents.

Students credit this popularity to his bringing Bible texts to life, making places, customs, and historical events real and their significance modern. Sharing his faith life helps students grow in their own.

Besides his formal education at University of San Diego, University of St. Paul in Ottawa, and the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California, Fr. Jim draws on some special resources including:

• thirty trips to the Holy Land and familiarity with the Middle East
• years of immersion in the Bible several hours each day
• experience as a silkscreen artist.

He presents the Bible as a book of visions, rather than a book of concepts, which opens new understanding for all.
