(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Richard Alan Burridge is a Church of England priest, biblical scholar and a former Dean of King's College London. Early life and education Burridge was born on 11 June 1955 to Alan Burridge and Iris Joyce Burridge . Burridge played guitar in the band Exousia in the 1970s, and continues to record as a solo artist. He was educated at University College, Oxford where he received an MA and the University of Nottingham where he read for a PhD. His doctoral thesis on the genre of the gospels was published in 1992 as What are the Gospels? A Comparison with Graeco-Roman Biography. It played a part in establishing that the Gospels were read as biographies in the first centuries after Christ, and that they belonged to a recognised literary genre of biographies rather than being unprecedented writings which reflected the faith and life of the post-Easter church.
