My name is Karl Möller. I am married to Maja, and we have two children: Tobias and Sarah. Maja and I grew up in Minden (Germany) but moved to England in 1994.
I graduated from the Freie Theologische Akademie, Gießen (now Freie Theologische Hochschule) in 1992 and completed my PhD on the book of Amos, published as A Prophet in Debate: The Rhetoric of Persuasion in the Book of Amos, in 1999. Having gained my PhD from Cheltenham and Gloucester College of Higher Education (now University of Gloucestershire), I worked as Course Co-ordinator for the Open Theological College (2000–2001), Research Assistant (2001) and Research Fellow (2002–2003) at the International Centre for Biblical Interpretation, University of Gloucestershire, before joining St Martin’s College (now University of Cumbria) in 2003.
Currently, I am Senior Lecturer in Theology and Religious Studies (focusing on biblical studies) and Course Leader for the MA in Theology at the University of Cumbria and Senior Tutor at the Lancashire and Cumbria Theological Partnership.
My academic interests continue to develop, but they include the Minor Prophets (esp. the book of Amos), the Psalms and Genesis 1–11, as well as literary and theological hermeneutics, rhetorical criticism, speech act theory, and historical criticism.
Aside from these academic interests, I enjoy good literature, cooking (and eating), music (esp. progressive rock) and I am an ardent supporter of FC Schalke 04.
