He studied successively at the Edinburgh Academy, the Prairie Bible Institute in Alberta, New College at the University of Edinburgh, Saint John"s College at the University of Durham, the University of Aberdeen, and McMaster University.
Career
He then taught at Carleton University, McMaster University, and the University of Calgary. He died as the result of a car crash in Craigie wrote commentaries on Deuteronomy, Ezekiel, the Twelve Prophets, and Psalms 1 – 50. He referred to his approach as "theological-historical" or "theological-scientific".
Lyle Eslinger notes that Cragie"s approach was "a melding of conservative theological interests and assumptions with the scientific methods of biblical criticism." Tremper Longman describes him as being "among the best of recent evangelical interpreters" as well as "an astute theologian and philologist".
In 1988, a Festschrift was published in his honour. Ascribe to the Lord: Biblical and Other Studies in Memory of Peter C. Craigie included contributions from R. K. Harrison, Kenneth Kitchen, Alan Millard, and Robert Polzin.
The Canadian Society of Biblical Studies sponsors the biannual Craigie Lecture in his memory.
