About
My research is focused on early Syriac homiletic literature, particularly of the 4th through 6th century. My current focus is the thought and world of the poet-theologian Narsai in the context of the 5th century Syriac tradition.
I joined the staff of the Maxwell Institute as a research scholar in 2000. Since 2004 I have served the Director of the Center for the Preservation of Ancient Religious Texts (http://cpart.byu.edu). I also serve as a co-editor of the Library of the Christian East, published by BYU Press.
I received a bachelor's degree in Jewish history and Hebrew from University College, London, and a Master of Studies in Syriac studies from Oxford University. I took my Ph.D. in Theology from the University of Birmingham. I wrote on the figure of the Old Testament Patriarch Joseph in early Syriac literature.
I was born and raised in Suffolk, England. I am married to Vicki-Bronwen, and we live in Provo with our five children.
