Sean is a follower of Jesus who has wrestled with the big questions for most of his life. This curiosity has led him into various avenues of postgraduate research which culminated in a PhD which explored the interactions between early Christianity and the Graeco-Roman world. His interests and concerns are wide-ranging, but in their various ways have to do with the quest for flourishing in all dimensions of life through responsible interpretation and appropriation of Scripture, the Christian tradition and contemporary wisdom. This has led him to the great privilege of being involved in a wide variety of ministries around the world, including church planting, youth work and university mission. Sean is an ordained pastor in the New Zealand Assemblies of God churches.
