Biblical Interpretation through the Lens of Cultural Conformity/Non-Conformity

Rebecca has a bachelor’s degree in Theology from the University of Birmingham, and master’s and doctoral degrees in New Testament Theology from the University of Oxford. She is a member of the United Reformed Church, and prior to beginning work at Cuddesdon in 2013, she was involved in children’s ministry for the URC, and also spent some time working as a teacher and support worker for a children’s homelessness charity in Far East Russia. Rebecca’s doctoral research focused upon the portrayal of religious experience and dream-visions in the Acts of the Apostles. Other research interests include the function of storytelling within the New Testament, and the construction of authority and identity within (religious) communities.

He is Chair of the ecumenical Church Investors Group, which has some 70 members with combined funds under management of around £20bn. He enjoys launching the occasional crowdfunding project, and is still working out how best to advertise these
