Andrew Scott Meeson

Andrew Scott Meeson serves as Reverend St Leonard's Associate at the University of St Andrews' School of Divinity. He recently completed his doctoral research on the Twelve Prophets in the Hebrew Bible, supervised by William Tooman. His academic background uniquely combines medical training with theological scholarship.

His research focuses on interpreting the Twelve Prophets as a unified literary composition, examining whether Hosea and Malachi form a deliberate literary frame. Meeson's work explores paratextual presentation, prominent peripheral positions in ancient texts, and parodic intertextuality within Jewish literature.

His doctoral thesis analyzes how the Twelve Prophets corpus uses framing devices to shape interpretation, particularly examining how Hosea and Malachi parody texts outside the Twelve to portray national critique. This research contributes to understanding ancient Jewish literary composition techniques and biblical hermeneutics.

Meeson maintains an external ecclesiastical position as Vicar of St John's Leyland in the Church of England, demonstrating his dual commitment to academic scholarship and pastoral ministry.
