My name is Matthew R. Malcolm. I’m pursuing a PhD on 1 Corinthians at the University of Nottingham, under the supervision of Anthony Thiselton. I’m interested in theology (especially Pauline studies), good coffee (I roast my own beans), and academic pretension (I am currently developing the perfect smug look… I call it “Green Steel”)

on your interest in coffee… are you at all interested in the whole cat feces coffee trend?

Well we don’t get the right sort of cats in this part of the world, so I have to gather my pre-fertilised coffee beans by following along behind badgers. It doesn’t taste as good – and I can’t seem to sell it for as much – but there’s a certain sense of accomplishment that comes with creating that unique cup of coffee… also a certain sense of gastro-enteritis…
This is all great stuff! I especially liked you comments on Colossians potentially being a part of the Pauline Hauptbriefe.
If it would be alright, I would like to dialogue with you further about your research. This request is partly because I have just begun my PhD studies (under Andrew Lincoln and Lloyd Pietersen) and my project is going to be an intensive study of 1 Cor 2.1-3.4. The other part is to get to know another fellow academic coffee drinker in the Pauline world.
If a digital meet-and-greet and subsequent dialogue are possible, me email is: cssweatman[at]gmail[dot]com.
Hi Carl – thanks for your comments. I’ll be in touch via email soon… always pleased to hear about coffee-drinking Corinthians scholars!
Dear Matthew, I read your review of Greg Deuble’s book, “What They Never Taught me in Church”. I am sending a copy of my book http://www.the-gospel-according2the-scriptures.com in exchange for his. Matthew, I would value your review of my book. How may I get a copy to you? My email is: andrewpritchard at mysoul.com.au
Thank you Andrew. At the moment I am not able to receive books for review unless I specifically seek them out, due to direct relevance to my research or my family. You may be interested in my recent discussion of the soul/body and immortality/resurrection on this blog. I aim to post more about this soon.
Hi mate
Just wondering if you will be in UK in mid Feb as I will be over for two weeks in Sheffield and London. Dave Mullender is coming with me and we’d love to see you either in Notts or Sheffield
Hey Steve – sounds great! I’ll email you about it…
