Dr. Rick Strelan

I am an ordained Lutheran minister, graduating from Luther Seminary, North Adelaide in 1969. I received my PhD from the University of Queensland in 1995 for a thesis on 'Paul, Jews and Artemis in Ephesus', which was later published by de Gruyter [1996]. I have lectured in New Testament and Early Christianity in the Department of Studies in Religion in the University of Queensland since 1995, teaching courses in Greek, in the Dead Sea Scrolls, in the NT, and in the pseudepigrapha and apocrypha of both Jewish and Christian literature. I have published articles in recent years in NTS, NovTest, ZNW, and JSP. My research interests are in the Acts of the Apostles.

I am married to Joy and have two adult children, Charla and Rochelle.
