About Me






Adam Couchman BTh (Hons), MA, PhD

I am the Academic Dean and Lecturer in Systematic Theology and Liturgy at St Francis College, Brisbane - a member college of the University of Divinity. 

I hold a Bachelor of Theology from the Sydney College of Divinity with Honours from Charles Sturt University. My honours dissertation was entitled "The neo-sacramental theology of The Salvation Army" and can be accessed here. I've also completed a Master of Arts in Theology (Aspects of Christian Holiness) from Nazarene Theological College, in Manchester, England. My dissertation was entitled "In the image of the Image: Theological Anthropology and its importance for Christian Holiness according to Gregory of Nyssa". This was expanded and published as "In the image of the Image: Gregory of Nyssa's Opposition to Slavery." It can be purchased from the publisher, SBL Press. 

My PhD was awarded through the University of Divinity based upon my thesis entitled "Liturgia Dei: Worshipping the Worshipping God." It engages a theological interpretation of scripture, specifically looking at Jesus' own worship in the light of the church's confession that he is fully human and fully divine. It will be published by Wipf & Stock in 2025.


 I would welcome comments and feedback as I believe that theology is not just knowledge to be transferred from one person to another, but an ongoing discussion which shapes our minds after Christ who has the mind of God. Theology is, therefore, in itself a holy task.

I love Chopin. I love listening to his music, but I especially love playing his music. His Nocturnes in particular. There's something very satisfying about playing Chopin. He was a pianist, and every piece of music he wrote was for the piano, and so he "gets" what it's like to sit at a piano and wrestle with those 88 keys in front of you. He was a genius who knew how to get the most out of this instrument, and to challenge those who would want to call themselves a pianist (ever tried playing 12 notes at once with 10 fingers?). Perhaps what I like best, though, is the opportunity that playing Chopin gives me to really express myself through the music. It's like nothing else that I know and taps right into the depths of my emotions and indeed my soul. For me, it's very much a kind of prayer to play this music. Anyone who plays a musical instrument well understands (or should understand) that it's so much more than just the notes on the page. In fact, the b

Sermon: Mark 1:29-39

  Do you think you can keep a secret? I have an important secret. A secret so powerful that it will change your life forever. Can you keep a secret? You probably already know this secret, but I want to make sure you know it. Really know it. Can you keep a secret? Here’s the secret. Jesus Christ is the Son of God. It’s a good secret isn’t it? Do you know it? I mean really know it? Mark shares this secret at the start of his gospel account. “The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God” (1:1). Mark wants to make sure you know this secret too. There is general agreement that Mark is the earliest of the four gospel accounts. It bears so many similarities to Matthew and Luke that scholars also agree that those other authors used Mark as a source for their own accounts. More recently, it’s been suggested that Mark wasn’t written to be read but rather to be performed. That makes sense given only a few people were actually able to read anyway. Mark is short, sharp, and to

An end and a beginning...

At about 4:30pm on New Year's Eve (2023), I submitted my PhD thesis. It was a quiet moment, with my wife by my side. It was a simple moment, with only an email disappearing off my screen to confirm the disappearance of year's of work into the hands of the examiners - no printed and bound copies, no physical copies of any kind. Just a PDF attached to an email. Gone.  It was the end of years of work, struggle, and wrestling. Throughout my candidature, I encountered many doubts and fears. Was my idea good enough? Was I being heretical? Was my idea new enough? Could I do this? Then there was the inevitable imposter's syndrome and writer's block. Wow, did I struggle with these two. There were too many times to count when I sat at my computer with barely more than a paragraph added to a document because I couldn't get the ideas out of my head and onto the page. This, of course, fed the idea that someone was going to figure out that I really didn't know what I was doin
