We love our authors! Without them, our books would be astonishingly bland and, well, . . . empty. Follow the links below to learn more about the people whose finely crafted words and ideas breathe life and being into our books.

Featured Author: Mark Goodacre

Mark Goodacre is associate professor in New Testament in the Department of Religion at Duke University in North Carolina. A graduate of the University of Oxford (where he earned his MA, M.Phil and DPhil), his research interests include the Synoptic Gospels, the Historical Jesus and the Gospel of Thomas.

Goodacre is perhaps best known for his award-winning internet site, The New Testament Gateway, a web directory of academic New Testament resources. He also maintains the widely read NT Blog and broadcasts a regular podcast on issues related to New Testament scholarship, the NT Pod.

He edits the Library of New Testament Studies book series, and he has also acted as consultant for several TV and radio programs including The Passion (BBC / HBO, 2008), The Bible: A History (Channel 4, 2010) and The Bible (History Channel, 2013).

Goodacre has authored four books to date, including The Case Against Q: Studies in Markan Priority and the Synoptic Problem (Harrisburg, PA: Trinity Press International, 2002) and, most recently, Thomas and the Gospels: The Case for Thomas's Familiarity with the Synoptics.
