Eric is Research Fellow and Tutor in Theology. He teaches New Testament and is also responsible for supervising the tuition of theology students at Harris Manchester. His doctoral thesis was on The Jewish Context of Jesus' Miracles , an expanded version of which has just been published by Sheffield Academic Press (in July 2002). He has also contributed the section on 1 Peter to the  Oxford Bible Commentary, and his article 'Challenging Q' has recently appeared in the Expository Times (Vol 113, September 2002). He also contributed an essay 'Reconstructing Mark: A Thought Experiment" to the volume of essays edited by Mark Goodacre and Nicholas Perrin, Questioning Q (London: SPCK, 2004).

Immediately after completing his own Theology Finals in 1995 Eric wrote A Guide for Perplexed Students. It is aimed particularly at mature students studying at Harris Manchester, but may be of wider interest too.

For a somewhat different take on New Testament Scholarship, you might light to try out my work of Interactive Fiction in which the protagonist escapes a dire lecture by experiencing a near-brush with death, in what could be described as an NT scholar's vision of hell. The work is called All Hope Abandon and you can try out a demo version of it on line, or read my article about it in Digital Humanities Quarterly.
