Dr. Alex Muir

Biography:

After undergraduate studies at Oxford in Classics and French (BA), I gradually made the transition to the world of Biblical Studies. Following a two-year ministry apprenticeship, I completed a MTh in Biblical Studies at the University of Edinburgh, where I went on to obtain a PhD in New Testament and Christian Origins. My doctoral thesis was a comparative project that explored how the apostle Paul and Seneca the Younger contributed to an ancient tradition of consolation.
