Biography

Neil Martin is an Associate Faculty Member at the Faculty of Theology and Religion at the University of Oxford, currently completing his DPhil under Professor Markus Bockmuehl, focusing on the motif of regression in Paul’s letter to the Galatians. He has served as a Tutor in Biblical Studies at the London Seminary and as an Associate Minister at the Oxford Presbyterian Church. Additionally, he is the Director of B-Less, a small charity that places postgraduate students in mentorship roles for undergraduate students. In 2022, he accepted a part-time Research Associateship at Keble College, Oxford, where he combines tutorial teaching and supervising Master's coursework projects, along with examining a new research project that focuses on Luke's interactions with the Old Testament. His ongoing research emphasizes the use of Old Testament 'partner narratives' as a rhetorical device in portraying the story of Jesus and early church while engaging with cross-disciplinary conversations in the fields of New and Old Testament scholarship.
