The New Testament Story
One of my greatest joys in life is teaching the bible in a way that makes it real to people. There’s no greater thrill for me than seeing a person have that “aha!” moment, when something in Scripture suddenly makes sense. Even after years of teaching, I never get tired of students telling me that something I said made the bible come to life for them. That is my hope for this channel.
I have been a student and a lecturer of New Testament since 2005. I began my studies at what was then called Southern Cross College (now called Alphacrucis University College) in Sydney, Australia. I then went on to do a PhD at Macquarie University, also in Sydney. After completing my doctorate in 2012, I became a full-time lecturer at Alphacrucis, where I have taught ever since.
Apart from my teaching, I have written numerous academic articles and books. I also present papers regularly at international conferences around the world. You can see all of these at my Academia.com page. You can also email me or check out my other stuff on my socials.

Can Christians Divorce? (1 Cor 7:10)
One of the mistakes we make when reading the Bible is to say, “the Bible clearly says…” But this can be problematic, even destructive when applied to more serious instructions in scripture. In this episode, we look at one of the more difficult texts in the NT.

Christianity and Ancient Philosophy (with Timothy Brookins)
Today I am joined by Timothy Brookins from the University of St Thomas in Houston to discuss ancient philosophy and how it related to the early church. We look at the major schools, especially the Stoics, as well as how the similarities led to problems in the Corinthian church.

The Culture of the New Testament World (Part 3: Honour and Shame)
In this week’s episode, we continue our series on the culture of the New Testament, and we look at one of the most important aspects of ancient society: honour and shame. The highest goal that any free person could strive for was honour—for oneself, for one’s family, and for the group. Conversely, the worst thing that could happen, even worse than death, was to be shamed. It was into this world that the shameful message of the cross entered.

The Culture of the New Testament World (Part 2: Social Status)
In this week’s episode, we continue our series on the culture of the New Testament, and we ask the question: where did the first Christians fit socially? The world of the New Testament, and especially the Roman world, was incredibly status-conscious. Moreover, as we saw last week, those at the top were the elites, the “good men”. The Christians, however, had a completely different approach to who was at the top and what characterised the leaders.

This week, we begin a 3-part series on the cultural background of the New Testament. The world of the New Testament, and especially the Roman world, was incredibly status-conscious. Every person had a specific place in the social order, and at the top of the pecking order was the vir bonus, the good man. Needless to say, the Christians presented a challenge to this whole structure.

Suffering and the New Testament (Part 2: Our Response)
What place does suffering have in the NT? Contrary to what we might think, it takes centre stage. Suffering is at the very core of the NT message. In fact, Jesus’ primary task in coming was to enter into the midst of human suffering and show us the way through it. In this week’s episode, we look at the different ways the NT encourages us to embrace and grow from it.

The New Testament and Money (Part 1: Tithing)
Do Christians have to tithe? It is something that is regularly taught in the church and yet, the New Testament never once says we have to do it. In this week’s episode, we will consider the original intention of tithing in the Old Testament and see whether or not it still applies today.

Is the New Testament Opposed to Women? (Part 3: Women Teaching Men)
Does the New Testament really say that women can’t teach men? Does it really say that they can’t lead men? In this week’s episode, I want to look at 1 Tim 2:9–15, one of the more troubling passages in the NT and see if there’s more going on than meets the eye. And I want to suggest that it’s not really saying what we might think that it is.

Is the New Testament Opposed to Women? (Part 2: Wives Submitting)
Does the New Testament really teach that wives everywhere have to submit to their husbands? In this week’s podcast, I want to look at one of the more troubling passages in the NT and see if there’s more going on than meets the eye. And I want to suggest that it’s not really saying what we might think that it is.

Is the New Testament Opposed to Women? (Part 1: Wives in the Early Church)
Is the bible really opposed to women? Must wives submit to their husbands? Is it true that women cannot teach men? In this series, I want to take a closer look at these difficult texts and suggest that there’s more to them than meets the eye. But in order to do that, we first need to look at what life was like for ancient wives and ask: was it any different for the Christian wives?

Stories of Redemption (Part 3: Mark)
One of the fantastic aspects of the NT is that it is raw and honest in its portrayal of the main characters. It is very willing to show the flaws and failures as well as the successes. What this helps to reveal is the grace of the God about whom it is written. In this week’s instalment of the series, we are looking at another incredible story of redemption: Mark.

Who Are Your Christian Role Models?
Who are your exemplars? Who are the role models you look to for inspiration? What does the New Testament tell us about finding them? In this week’s topic, we examine Jesus’ letter to that church in Revelation. What was it that they got right about this? We also look at Paul’s encouragement to the Philippians to imitate him. Why does he say imitate him? shouldn’t we imitate Christ? Finally, we will try to shed some light on what to look for in those we follow.

What’s Paul’s Issue with Head-coverings in Corinth (and is it still relevant)?
What’s the story with head coverings in Corinth? Why does he tell the women to cover their heads when they pray but then tell the men to uncover their heads when they pray? In this week’s topic, we will look at a possible reason why both the Corinthian women and the men were confused about this. And we’ll ask the question: what implications does it have for us today?
