Martin has been at Regents since 2002. He has a BA (Hons) from the University of Manchester and a PhD from the University of Wales (Bangor). His doctoral studies explored the intersection of biblical theology and philosophical hermeneutics. Much of his teaching focuses on facilitating deeper Christian understanding of the Old Testament, especially the literature and theology of the Torah/Pentateuch and the Hebrew Prophets. His current research interests concern the critical interpretation of Genesis and Deuteronomy and the theological significance of the Old Testament for Christian faith. He also cultivates a critical interest in the philosophy of Martin Heidegger and its significance for theology.
