Allan’s research interests include Matthean studies, Synoptic Gospel studies, Rhetorical Analysis, Second Temple Jewish Literature, New Testament Textual Criticism, Koine Greek, Lexicography, Pneumatology, and Hermeneutics. His ongoing commitment to scholarship was demonstrated recently by completing a new 4,500 page Greek-English lexicon titled, Vocabulary of the Greek New Testament: Scholar’s Edition (publication forthcoming). This 12-year project is a major revision/update/expansion of Moulton and Milligan’s Vocabulary of the Greek Testament (published 1914-1930).

Allan believes that God’s call and purpose for his life is to equip others for works of service (Eph. 4:12), including supporting faculty and students participating in online education at Gateway Seminary. He is passionate about teaching the Bible and theology, and sharing his faith with others.
