David Schnasa Jacobsen

David Schnasa Jacobsen is Bishops Scholar Emeritus in Homiletics and Preaching at Boston University School of Theology. He was 2020 President of the Academy of Homiletics and a 2025 recipient of its Lifetime Achievement Award. David's books range from homiletical interpretations of Mark and other apocalyptic texts to grasping anew what a theology of the gospel might mean for preaching today. He is a preaching professor whose work combines the best of homiletic theory, Biblical studies, and theology.

David views preaching as offering a theological lens to help the church truly see and engage a world that God still so loves. He wants preaching to connect humbly and vibrantly with today's pluralistic public square.

Born and raised in South Dakota, David has been a visiting professor at the University of Kiel in Germany and was for many years Professor of Homiletics at Waterloo Lutheran Seminary and the Toronto School of Theology in Canada.
