About
After serving as a lecturer at the Australian Lutheran College, formerly Luther Seminary, since 1982, he retired from full time teaching at the end of 2009.
He was born in 1942 and grew up on a farm in the Barossa Valley which may account for his love of red wine.
After finishing high school at Immanuel College where he was head prefect, he studied at the University of Adelaide for a BA Honours in German language and literature from 1961–1964. There he developed an interest in German lyric poetry and Lutheran hymnody and an abiding fascination for Georg Hamann as a cultural analyst and critic of the Enlightenment.

Rather, we learn, bit by bit, the art of begging from God the Father, until at our death we can do nothing but say, ‘Lord Jesus, have mercy on me!'” – John Kleinig (Grace Upon Grace) “Because our spiritual life depends on our receiving from God, Christ teaches us to become beggars together with Him.
