Lydia Kelliney is a doctoral candidate in New Testament Theology and Visual Arts at University of St Andrews, Scotland. Her research examines the visual exegesis of the Supper at Emmaus (Luke 24) in the seventeenth century, contrasting Reformed interpretations by Rembrandt with Counter-Reformation readings by Caravaggio. She focuses on New Testament Gospel narratives and their visual reception, exploring creative methodologies that bridge the gap between biblical text and contemporary audiences while attending to cultural and linguistic contexts. Lydia is committed to making theology accessible through art and pedagogy, connecting rigorous scholarship with ecclesial and educational practice.
