Prof Steve Mason hired as Aberdeen’s NT Exegesis chair

A big congrats to Steve Mason for moving into the Kirby Laing Chair of NT Exegesis. His expertise, it seems, is not necessarily in New Testament exegesis, but I have a high amount of admiration for his historical work and keeping NT researchers honest and informed when they interact with folks like Josephus. In any case, this is a big move for Aberdeen and I hope it strengthens the research and teaching profile of the divinity college and helps them to be restored to the glory of days not so long ago!

On a similar subject, Aberdeen has also hired theologian Bernd Wannenwetsch as “Chair in Theological Ethics.” Also, a big score for Aberdeen. I like his work in Political Worship.
