It has just been announced that N.T. Wright will be leaving his post at Durham and taking the Chair of New Testament studies at the University of St. Andrews. Read the press release from the School of Divinity here or from the Church of England here. If you wondered where to study New Testament in Great Britain, your decision may have just gotten easier (Steve is obviously pleased he will be heading there in the fall).
I can say this with confidence: As a professed conservative american evangelical, I am glad to see the arguably pre-eminent NT scholar NT Wright getting such a high and honored post. God’s blessings on the NT department and St. Andrews!
I share the excitement as I myself will be applying to St Andrews for my postdoctoral study.
