Dr. Greg Peters is a native Virginian who loves to travel (especially in Europe) and read. When not reading for work, Dr. Peters reads for fun. He enjoys the fiction of Paul Auster, Bernard Malamud, Chinua Achebe and the nineteenth Russian novelists. In addition, Dr. Peters loves the poetry of John Donne and George Herbert. When it comes to non-fiction, he enjoys reading anything that has to do with theology, monasticism or the history of the Christian church. When not working or reading Dr. Peters enjoys spending time with his wife Christina and two sons: Brendan and Nathanael. In addition to being a professor at Torrey, Dr. Peters is an ordained pastor in the Anglican tradition, serving regularly in his local parish.
