HomeFacultyDr Peter Orr

Dr Peter Orr

New Testament Department.

Qualifications: MEng (Nottingham), BD (Moore), PhD (Durham).

I am married to Emma, and we have four sons. I grew up in Northern Ireland and was converted through a combination of reading the NT and attending a Billy Graham meeting. My early, clear experience of the power of God’s word has given me a deep conviction of the importance of Bible teaching. After university in England, I was a missionary for two years in Galaţi in Romania in the early 1990s. I studied at Moore in the mid-2000s before returning to the UK to complete a PhD at Durham University. We then moved to Melbourne where I taught at a Bible college before returning to Moore in 2014. As a family, we enjoy serving together at All Saints Petersham as well as holidays at the beach. I enjoy reading biographies and fiction and listening to the music of the Gloaming.

Research interests: I am currently working on a commentary on Luke’s Gospel for Lexham Press (in their EEC series). I am also working on a biblical theology of faith.
