Apart from his responsibilities as Principal, Jonathan teaches mission and ethics. His interdisciplinary research interests focus upon social-scientific interpretation of the Bible and Old Testament ethics. He tries to keep at least one eye firmly fixed on the implications of these studies for the life of today’s multicultural Church, preaching regularly in his own congregation.

Before coming to SEUT Dr Rowe worked in health services management (in the UK, Uganda and Pakistan), and was Lecturer and Director of Development at All Nations’ Christian College.
