Jordan Brooke Polverini graduated on May 13, 2023, from Southern California Seminary with a Master of Arts in Biblical Studies with a concentration in New Testament Greek. This is Jordan’s second master’s degree.

Her thesis, entitled “An Exchange Of Grace In John 1:16: An Exegetical Analysis Of “Anti” And Its Implications For Translation,” explored the translation debate regarding the Greek preposition “anti” and its theological implications, making a case for the most accurate translation: “for.” Jordan’s thesis earned Southern California Seminary’s first Zondervan Academic Annual Student Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Study of Biblical Greek.

Jordan is now pursuing her third master’s degree, a Master of Theology, at Southern California Seminary. She has been selected to present a paper two years in a row at the highly respected Evangelical Theological Society’s Far West Regional Meeting. Jordan’s first scholarly article was published this year in the peer-reviewed Journal of Ministry and Theology.
