Welcome to Behind the Gospels
Behind the Gospels is an academic blog, offering weekly insights into the Gospels. Its primary goal is to make academic study of the gospels accessible to a wide audience.
Some of the topics I cover on the blog include:
Reading the gospels as ancient biographical literature
Jesus as a historical figure
The origins, provenance and meaning of our earliest Gospels
A Bit About Me
My background is as a student and teacher. I completed my master’s in Theology (New Testament) and PGCE at Magdalen College, Oxford in 2020 and my PhD in Christian Origins at the University of Edinburgh in 2023.
As part of my freelance work, I am the producer and researcher Biblical Time Machine, a podcast which hosts leading academics in a range of fields related to the bible. I also host Unbelievable?, a show which brings people of different worldviews into discussion around the Bible, theology and philosophy.
I am available as a freelance writer, tutor and speaker on biblical studies. You can get in touch with me on substack or contact me at behindthegospels@gmail.com.
