Biography

Gathercole completed a degree in Classics and Theology at Cambridge and then pursued doctoral research at Durham University under the supervision of James D. G. Dunn, with funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council, the German Academic Exchange Service and Hatfield College.[2][3] He also studied for short periods at the University of Tübingen and the Jewish Theological Seminary, New York.[2] He was formerly Senior Lecturer in New Testament at the University of Aberdeen.

Drawn from his dissertation, his book Where is Boasting? (2002) was a critique of the New Perspective on Paul, and focused on Second-Temple Judaism and Romans 1-5.

Since 2007, Gathercole has served as editor of the Journal for the Study of the New Testament.
