John Dickson never wanted to become the "cliche pastor with tattoos" until one day he did. On a trip to Cairo filming the his documentary series 'Case for Christ' he was inspired by his cab driver's coptic cross tattoo. Check out John's new podcast - Undeceptions:
Ink Plots lets Christian's tell the testimony of their tattoos. In this episode: the symbol of the cross as it appears in our earliest manuscripts of Mark's gospel & a coptic cross in solidarity of persecuted christians.
John thinks, writes, and speaks for a living. And his story is eclectic. Starting out as a professional singer-songwriter, he now works as an author, academic, and media presenter. He was the Founding Director of the Centre for Public Christianity (2007-17), and has published over 15 books and three TV documentaries. He teaches a course on the Historical Jesus at the University of Sydney, Australia, and researches the origins of Christianity in the Roman empire as a Visiting Academic (2017-2020) in the Faculty of Classics at the University of Oxford. In 2019 he was appointed the Distinguished Fellow and Senior Lecturer in Public Christianity at Ridley College, Melbourne. In all that he does, whether in the media or the church, creative or academic, he strives to be a public advocate for the Christian faith. His new podcast Undeceptions seeks to promote clarity about Christianity in doubting times. Having lost his father in a plane crash at 9, John is sympathetic to the sorrows and questions of our world, and values his wife and three children above all other gifts of this life.
