James Morgan - Life&Text

Welcome to Life&Text! My name is James Maurice Morgan, and my channel explores the intersection between life and texts and their reciprocal influence, i.e. how ancient and contemporary texts invite us to think, live, and write! 

Texts draw us into the world of the real and imaginary using an amazing variety of literary devices. Narratives inspire us to live in light of their examples and values, which often lead us to write our own stories. 

I am a teacher and researcher in the Biblical Studies department at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland, specifically in the area of New Testament exegesis and Greek. My views do not necessarily represent those of the schools or institutions inviting me to speak. 

In short, here's my research triad: biblical studies, historiography, and narratology.
