Master’s in Practical Theology
The King’s University – Southlake, TX
I am a Master’s student in Practical Theology at The King’s University. My studies focus on interpreting Scripture within its first-century historical and Jewish cultural context, with particular attention to the Second Temple background of the New Testament. My academic interests include Israel and the nations in early Christian thought, post-supersessionist theology, and the practical implications of historically grounded biblical interpretation for discipleship and the contemporary church.
