About meI work in a government affairs consultancy in Westminster, primarily working with charity clients.
My academic interests are church-state relations, religion and human rights and church governance (well, someone's got to do it). I'm a Quaker: like a lot of Quakers I used to be an Anglican and the contents of my library reflect that.
About my libraryApart from general fiction (which I can't be bothered to catalogue - that's what the alphabet is for) my books are predominantly about church law, church history and ecclesiology. I've also got most of the extant books on the history of Durham University and its colleges because I've been writing the history of my own college.

He used king james prose despite the anachrocicity of doing so (I like to make up words) because 1) he thought it made it sound more authentic and 2) that was a book he was familiar with.
The original purpose was to make money. He came from a family of con men and it was originally his attempt to strike it rich by selling the book. He was unsuccessful at that, found that many people actually "bought" the story that it was actual history/religious text, and started a religion instead.
