Welcome

Hi there! I am an Associate Professor of New Testament at the University of Divinity based at Wollaston Theological College in Perth, Western Australia. Originally from Aotearoa New Zealand, I previously held research and teaching positions at the University of Auckland (2015-2016) and Murdoch University (2017-2021).

​

I have authored and edited several books and numerous peer-reviewed journal articles. Most recently, I am the co-author of Jesus: A Life in Class Conflict (with James Crossley).

​

On this website you can find out about my research, download academic articles and book chapters, and find links to popular and open-access articles.
