Professor Garrick Allen

Professor of Divinity and Biblical Criticism (Theology & Religious Studies)

Biography

After completing my PhD at the University of St Andrews (2015), I worked as a postdoctoral researcher on ECM-Apk project at the Kirchliche Hochschule Wuppertal/Bethel, where I contributed to the production of a new Greek critical edition of the book of Revelation. From 2016 to 2020 I was Associate Professor in New Testament Studies at Dublin City University. And since 2020 I am Senior Lecturer in the School of Critical Studies at the University of Glasgow.

My first book, The Book of Revelation and Early Jewish Textual Culture (Cambridge 2017), was awarded the Manfred Lautenschlaeger Award for Theological Promise 2019 and my essay "Monks, Manuscripts, Muhammad, and Digital Editions of the New Testament," published also in a chapter in my book Manuscripts of the Book of Revelation (Oxford 2020), was awarded the Paul J. Achtemeier Award for New Testament Scholarship by the Society of Biblical Literature (2018).

I am currently an Adjunct Fellow of the Centre for Advanced Studies "Beyond Canon," University of Regensburg, on the Advisory Board of the UCD Newman Centre for the Study of Religion, an Academic Collaborator of the ADAPT Centre, Dublin, and a Research Associate of the School of Ancient and Modern Languages and Cultures, University of Pretoria.

Research interests

Apocalyptic literature; book of Revelation; paratexts, manuscripts, and textual criticism; early Jewish literature and its relationship to the New Testament and early Christianity; practices of quotation and allusion; ancient literary composition; aesthetics and knowledge
