We are interested in hearing from students wishing to undertake postgraduate level work in New Testament Studies at the doctoral level. Please contact one of the supervisors below if you are thinking about applying for a PhD in their subject area.
Professor Grant Macaskill: Grant Macaskill's research interests include the New Testament as a coherent body of theological literature emerging from the diverse contexts of late Second Temple Judaism; treatments of theological issues in the New Testament, notably 'Union with Christ'; examination of the transmission of Jewish apocalyptic texts in Christian tradition, particularly 1 Enoch and 2 Enoch.
Dr Katherine Hockey: Katherine Hockey's research is interested, more broadly, in the formation and shaping of Early Christian identity/identities. More specifically, this includes an interest in 1 Peter and the Catholic Epistles; Christian self-conception; emotion studies and the New Testament; and Greco-Roman philosophical ethics and rhetoric.
Dr Sam Newington: Supervision can be offered in the field of ancient Greek religion with particular focus on comparisons with Biblical and Near Eastern traditions (creation narratives especially).
We are grateful also to be joined by our Kirby Laing Research Fellow in New Testament. The current post holder is:
Dr Logan Williams whose research interests include: ritual, reception of legal traditions in the Second Temple Period, Dead Sea Scrolls, and the New Testament more broadly.
