  • One of my greatest joys in life is teaching the bible in a way that makes it real to people. There’s no greater thrill for me than seeing a person have that “aha!” moment, when something in Scripture suddenly makes sense. Even after years of teaching, I never get tired of students telling me that something I said made the bible come to life for them. That is my hope for this channel.

    I have been a student and a lecturer of New Testament since 2005. I began my studies at what was then called Southern Cross College (now called Alphacrucis University College) in Sydney, Australia. I then went on to do a PhD at Macquarie University, also in Sydney. After completing my doctorate in 2012, I became a full-time lecturer at Alphacrucis, where I have taught ever since.

    Apart from my teaching, I have written numerous academic articles and books. I also present papers regularly at international conferences around the world. You can see all of these at my Academia.com page. You can also email me or check out my other stuff on my socials.

  • In ten episodes, Treason tells the remarkable and true story of Claus von Stauffenberg and the plot to assassinate Hitler, 
    In July 1944, Claus von Stauffenberg was 36 years old. He was a brilliant staff officer, regarded by many, including Hitler, as the most brilliant in the German Army. He was a decorated war hero. He had been badly wounded in North Africa, losing his right hand, two fingers of his left hand, and his left eye: he could have sat out the war on a pension. He was married with four children, and his wife was pregnant with their fifth. He had everything to live for โ€“ and yet he was prepared to risk all that to try and rid the world of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.
    The gripping narrative follows Claus von Stauffenberg as the Nazis rise to unleash the Second World War across Europe, Claus's increasing disillusionment with the regime, and the process of building an insurrection against Hitler.
    We will hear about the many attempts on Hitler's life, and the courage and character of those in the German resistance who were prepared to act.
