About the book >.>.> As Dean Ireland’s Professor of the Exegesis of Holy Scripture at Oxford University Chris has developed his insights and explored them with students. His academic horizons have kept broadening as he has explored new dis-ciplines and encountered radical individuals and groups that most scholars find uninteresting-first-century Jewish mystics John the Revelator six-teenth-century Anabaptists Gerrard Winstanley and the Diggers William Blake the Panacea Society. As his students see Chris engaging these unimpor-tant people as kindred spirits they also observe that it is possible to read the biblical texts from the point of view of marginalized people-demoniacs women lepers. In his audacious Inaugural Lecture as Dean Ireland’s Professor in 1992 Chris joined Jesus in rejoicing that God has ‘hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and revealed them to infants’ (Matt. 11:25; Rowland 1993) and in his teaching he invites his students to have the same mind. Students find that Chris listens to them carefully pushes them into unexplored terrain urges them to find their own voices and invites them to collaborate. (MP)
