My passion is in the area of New Testament, particularly in Pauline studies. I have been working on Paul's fascinating letters to the Corinthians for a large part of my professional career as a Lecturer in New Testament Studies. Apart from Pauline studies, I also teach general subjects like New Testament Survey/Introduction, Exegetical Methods/Biblical Interpretation, Advanced Hermeneutics, the Gospel of Mark, Parables of Jesus, and New Testament Theology. 

I am available to supervise candidates for the postgraduate studies (particularly the Master of Theology programme), and I welcome any enquiries. For further infofmation of the programme, please visit the seminary website by clicking here.
