Dr. M. Daniel Carroll R. (Rodas) is half-Guatemalan and was raised bilingual and bicultural. In his youth, he spent many summers in Guatemala and later taught at El Seminario Teológico Centroamericano in Guatemala City for thirteen years. The realities of Central America sparked Dr. Carroll's fascination with the Old Testament. The relevance of the biblical text for the challenges of poverty, war, and politics in those developing countries led him to a passionate focus on Old Testament social ethics. Dr. Carroll has been involved in Latino/a churches and teaching on the Bible and immigration for many years. His research and publications focus on the prophetic literature and Old Testament social ethics.
