Alexa Suelzer

[1] One of her most cited works is her essay "Modern Old Testament Criticism" in The New Jerome Biblical Commentary.

[2] Suelzer earned a bachelor's degree in English at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College and then taught high school for fourteen years.

Suelzer's advisor Father Gerald Sloyan suggested she avoid unwanted criticism by giving her visionary dissertation a more traditional, pedagogical title, "The Utilization of the Pentateuch in the Teaching of College Scripture."

[3] Suelzer's theological understanding became even more important to the Sisters of Providence after the church changes of the Second Vatican Council.

[8] Suelzer also participated in the Brookland Commission, an inquiry beginning in 1988 into the place of intellectual life among communities of women religious.
