Brian A Curtis was born in Kent, England, and at the age of twenty, left home and migrated to Australia. In 1980, he began his theological studies at Ridley Theological College, Melbourne, and on completion was ordained by the Anglican Church of Australia in Tasmania. In 1990, he took a ten-year break from the ordained ministry, and gained work helping welfare recipients and the long-term unemployed. He then returned to the stipendiary ministry, but retired in 2009 to concentrate on his writing. Brian has a deep interest in biblical culture and teaching. Indeed, he has a passion that others should share a good understanding of the Hebrew and Christian scriptures. He sees this as particularly relevant in a world where they are so often misunderstood and misrepresented.
