Michael F Bird Biography & Facts
Michael F. Bird (born 18 November 1974) is an Australian Anglican priest, theologian, and New Testament scholar. Biography In his teenage years, Bird was an atheist who saw Christianity, "as a way of oppressing people, a purely human construct.” After becoming a Christian, he was a Baptist, after which a Presbyterian, and (most recently) an Anglican. He has recently been called by the ecumenical media platform Eternity a "heavy hitter" in the world of New Testament scholarship and Jesus's divinity. Bird is Vice Principal and Lecturer in Theology and New Testament at Ridley College, having previously taught at Brisbane School of Theology and Highland Theological College. He studied at Malyon College and the University of Queensland. He is also Distinguished Research Professor of Theology at Houston Baptist University. Bird has written a number of books, including The New Testament in Its World (2019, with N. T. Wright), Evangelical Theology: A Biblical and Systematic Introduction (2013) and The Gospel of the Lord: How the Early Church Wrote the Story of Jesus (2014). The Gospel of the Lord won the Biblical Studies section of the 2015 Christianity Today Book Awards. Bird is also the author of a fantasy novel titled Iskandar: And the Immortal King of Iona. Bird is a member of the Evangelical Theological Society, Society of Biblical Literature, and Studiorum Novi Testamenti Societas. In November 2015 he was ordained as a priest in the Anglican Church of Australia. Works Books Bird, Michael F. (2006). Jesus and the Origins of the Gentile Mission.
