I have been a Christian for over 30 years. I have a Ph.D. in New Testament from the University of Edinburgh. I am a British national and I currently live in the south of Scotland. If you use one of my articles for others to read, you are welcome to Americanise the English spellings, leave out the references and links at the end of the article, and change the formatting of subheadings, quotations etc. Check out my blog, The Orthotometist, at http://maxaplin.blogspot.co.uk/
