I studied Biblical Theology and Hermeneutics at Kings Evangelical Divinity School earning my Bachelor of Theology degree and Master of Arts in Theology degree via Chester University. I am currently enrolled on the PhD program at Bishop Grosseteste University researching ‘A History of Watch Tower Hermeneutical Theory & Praxis 1879-1935 Mapping and establishing interpretive principles and methodology‘
My MA dissertation was entitled “Watch Tower selbstidentität and the role of community needs in the Apocalypse of John: A hermeneutical evaluation” the purpose of this research was and is to advance academic knowledge concerning Watch Tower hermeneutical theory and praxis. How and why do Jehovah’s witnesses read the Bible the way they do? What are the push-pull factors behind their idiosyncratic interpretations? and How do community needs and experiences influence a religious movement’s interpretation? With a dearth of academic responses, my PhD research tackles these questions.
I also have a passion to share the practical benefits of my education, in particular sound hermeneutical practice, hence my burning desire is to see believers equipped; grounded in sound doctrine and able to handle scripture aright. The apostle Peter urges Christians to ‘grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.’ (2 Peter 3:18). Similar to the apostles Peter & John I “cannot stop speaking about what I have seen and heard” (Acts 4:20) – what I have learned I wish to share ‘for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ’ (Ephesians 4:12).
Aiming at the academic world, my specialist field of research is 19th Century millenarian movements, and of course the hermeneutics of the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society. Such lectures may be of particular use to students of theology, philosophy and sociology. Here’s me with some of my BA and MA graduates:

I am very happy to endorse the ministry of my friend Jason Wright, who was a valued member of the CMFI council. Jason was for some years a Jehovah Witness and the Lord delivered him from that false teaching. Since then and following in depth study with Kings Evangelical Divinity school, I have found him to be a very diligent student of the Word of God with a particular skill in Biblical hermeneutics and a good understanding of Church history and particularly the errors which have sprung therefrom. My prayer is that this website will help many and bring glory to the Lord we both serve.
