Prof Steve Walton joins the Centre for the Social-Scientific Study of the Bible at St Mary's--Chris Keith

I've let this slip once or twice already, but now I can formally announce that Acts specialist and new blogger Steve Walton has joined the Centre for the Social-Scientific Study of the Bible here with me at St Mary's University College as a Professorial Research Fellow.  I couldn't be more pleased to have such an internationally-recognized New Testament scholar as a colleague.  It's just icing on the cake that he's also a great person!  Steve's big project at present is the two-volume Word Biblical Commentary on Acts.  We are continuing to take on PhD students in New Testament for anyone who is interested.  We'll also be working on some interesting conferences in the next couple years and will shortly announce one that will be held here at St Mary's in May.  Welcome, Steve!
