Autorenporträt

Clifford Samuel has a keen interest in history, literature and Religion Studies. He is particularly interested in the Hellenistic and Hebraic world of the first century, and has found the study of Luke a fascinating entry point into this period. Luke to Theo, Again, continues the work he began with Luke's gospel, as Luke moves into the wider Hellenistic world. Clifford lives in Melbourne, Australia and is able to indulge hobbies to do with film, theatre, reading detective fiction, book clubs and swimming. Travel, especially to Italy, is a highlight and gives him the chance to practise, albeit at a very basic level, the Italian lessons he tries so hard to remember.
