The Second World War meant a rather ramshackle education, in seven schools, four of them in South America. From St. John’s, Leatherhead, he went with a State Scholarship to Christ’s College, Cambridge, where Modern and Mediaeval Languages were followed, since he intended to be ordained, by Theology. During a gap year on the shop-floor of a Sheffield steelworks he altered course into teaching, starting at an East End Grammar School and ending as head of a large and successful Hampshire Comprehensive School. On retirement he returned to the serious study of the gospels, while service as Quaker chaplain at Parkhurst and Albany prisons widened his experience further and deepened his theology. He first had articles accepted by Theology in 2008, and published his own book on Mark’s gospel, The Man that Peter Knew, in 2011. Since then he has been concentrating on John.view less
