This page will give details of my current research projects. At present I have four main projects underway that should all go to press in the next eighteen months. Three of these are related directly to the origins of Christianity:
The Madness of King Jesus
The New Testament and Ancient Popular Culture
Christ and the Universe of Disease
A fourth project is concerned with early-modern English encounters with the Ottoman Empire and the Barbary States:
Quakers and Muslims in the Seventeenth Century: Apocalypse and Anomaly.
