An ordained priest and academic theologian, Anthony Thiselton combined a life of prolific scholarship with significant contributions to the life of the Church of England and the institutions of higher education in which he served, most notably the University of Nottingham. Author of thirty-three books, he possessed an unrivalled erudition in philosophical hermeneutics (both continental and analytic), New Testament scholarship, and systematic theology. Broadly evangelical in his sympathies, Thiselton displayed an awareness and sympathy with alternative positions and approaches in Biblical and theological interpretation, his work consistently adopting a mediating and eirenic tone.
