The Rev Dr Peter Bolt

Head of New Testament Department

bolt

Peter has spent the first half of 2009 happily writing a biography of Rev William Cowper who was the first minister of St Philip’s, Sydney.  Normally the New Testament Department gets his full attention, with a particular focus on the Gospels and Biblical Theology.  Spare time is taken up with exercise, walking dogs, conversation with friends and especially hanging around four adult daughters whenever they can squeeze him in.
