About
I am Associate Professor of Religion at the University of Georgia, where I have taught since 2007. I specialize in New Testament Studies/Early Christianity, and my teaching and research interests are currently focused on the Synoptic Gospels. I am also strongly committed to fostering increased dialogue between German and English scholarship in the field, a commitment that is most evident in my co-editorship, with Simon Gathercole, of the academic series
Baylor-Mohr Siebeck Studies in Early Christianity. For further information about my intellectual biography and research, see

Education
I earned my B.A. in Greek and Latin at the University of Georgia from 1994-1998, during which time I also took courses in New Testament Studies from George Howard. I then studied theology for two years at the University of Tübingen in Germany, where I completed the Zwischenprüfung, taking classes with Peter Stuhlmacher, Friedrich Avemarie, Otfried Hofius, Bernd Janowski, Dorothea Wendebourg, and Eberhard Jüngel. I next moved to England where I received my M.A. in Theology and Religion from the University of Durham, working closely with James Dunn, Stephen Barton, Walter Moberly, and Loren Stuckenbruck. In 2007 I completed my Ph.D. in Theology and Religious Studies at the University of Cambridge under the supervision of Graham Stanton, Markus Bockmuehl, and David Ford. My doctoral thesis was examined by Robert Morgan and John Riches. Publications
