Biblical Studies. David Lamb, one of our Honorary Research Fellows, has recently completed a year's research in sociolinguistics as a Visiting Scholar at Bangor University, working with Professor Thora Tenbrink, the Director of Research for the College of Arts, Humanities, and Business. He focussed on an aspect of Systemic Functional Linguistics known as Appraisal Theory and sought to apply it to the Gospel of John and Hellenistic Greek biographies. He presented a summary of his work at the (online) University of Cambridge Faculty of Divinity New Testament Research Seminar in November 2020 and is intending to present a revised version of this paper at the Ehrhahrdt Seminar on 11th March.
