James A. Sanders

James A. Sanders (born 28 November 1927 in Memphis, Tennessee) is an American scholar of the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible and one of the Dead Sea Scrolls editors. He was the first to translate and edit the Psalm Scroll, which contained a previously unknown psalm. Sanders retired in the late 1990s, but still publishes and lectures regularly.

Sanders taught at Union Theological Seminary in New York, NY and at the Claremont School of Theology, Claremont, CA. While at CST, he founded the Ancient Biblical Manuscript Center for Research and Preservation (ABMC), a microfilm archive and research center for ancient and medieval manuscripts related to the Bible. He had a falling-out with Elizabeth Bechtel the Center founder.

Sanders continues to teach at the Episcopal Theological School at Claremont, a denominational seminary hosted on the Claremont School of Theology campus. In 2010, Sanders was made a Honorary Canon of the Cathedral Center of St. Paul in the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles in recognition of his service to The Episcopal Church.
