David Edmond Hiebert was born July 27, 1910 near Corn, Oklahoma.
In 1936 Hiebert and his new wife, Ruth Kopper, moved from Ingalls to Louisville, Kentucky, where he enrolled at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Hiebert received his Th.M. from that school in 1939 and his Th.D. from there in 1942.
Hiebert contracted undulant fever in 1944, from which he nearly died. Several months after his apparent recovery, it became evident that he was losing his hearing, and by 1946 Hiebert was completely deaf.
In 1955 Hiebert joined the faculty of the newly-established Mennonite Brethren Biblical Seminary in Fresno, California. He served as a professor of New Testament there from 1955 to 1975. In 1975 he was named Professor Emeritus at MBBS, and continued to teach on a part-time basis there until 1985. Despite his deafness, Hiebert was a successful and respected lecturer in New Testament studies during his long career at Tabor and MBBS.
Hiebert's most significant legacy was his writing. His first book, Working By Prayer, was published by the Mennonite Brethren Publishing House in 1953. Hiebert was best known for his commentaries on the New Testament.
D. Edmond Hiebert continued to write until almost the end of his life. He suffered a heart attack in October 1994, and died in Fresno on January 30, 1995. The funeral took place on February 3 in the Butler Avenue Mennonite Brethren Church, where Hiebert and his wife had been members since 1957.
