St. Augustine (354 – 430 AD) formulated an approach to theology – followed by thousands of scholars through the centuries – with the words credo ut intelligam ("I believe in order to understand"). This same approach was formulated by Anselm of Canterbury (1033 – 1109 AD) as fides quareus intellectum: "faith seeking understanding." It an honor to consider myself within this tradition of men and women whose theology is based upon faith and a high appreciation of Scripture.
Peter Gräbe (Doctor Divinitatis, University of Pretoria) studied theology and did extensive doctoral research in Münster, Germany and post-doctoral research in Munich, as well as at the University of Cambridge (U.K.) as a Visiting Fellow of Clare Hall.
Professor Gräbe is a member of the International Society for the Study of the New Testament (SNTS) and the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL).

Luke 24:32 has always guided my scholarship and is my prayer for all of us: "They asked each other, 'Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?' "
