ResourcefulHDR podcast Episode 6: David Evans PhD candidate Ancient History

My guest today on the ResourcefulHDR podcast is David Evans. David is located in Brisbane and is a PhD candidate in the Department of Ancient History at Macquarie University and his thesis is Paul and the Foundation of the Churches.

Prior to enrolling in a PhD, David completed an MA in Theology, a Bachelor of Ministry at Malyon Theological College and a Grad Dip Ed at ACU. He was employed as a secondary teacher in Catholic and Lutheran schools, and as a Pastor at Singleton Baptist Church in Singleton in NSW for a period of two years.

David was awarded two academic prizes in 2016 - the David Barr Prize from the Australian College of Theology and the L.M. Dart Memorial Prize from Malyon College.

Winning a number of scholarships, the Macquarie/Tyndale Scholarship in 2019 and the Faculty of Arts Candidate Conference Travel Scheme in 2018 gave David the opportunity to travel to the UK to visit Tyndale House, a research institute affiliated with Cambridge University, and to present a paper “Defensive and Constructive Identity Formation in the Lives and Times of the Two Quadratuses of Athens” at the British New Testament Society Conference, held at St. Mary’s University, London in September last year
