PhD (IBTS, VU Amsterdam)

"My PhD was in the area of patristic hermeneutics, looking at readings of the Genesis 1-3 creation and fall narratives in the early church – specifically Jon Chrysostom and Ephrem Syrus. Since then I have written a number of papers in the field of hermeneutics and translation. My latest paper was on how understanding the incarnation as God’s ultimate act of translation can have positive repercussions for our attitude to (and practice of) bilingual worship."
