About James Greig
James is an enthusiastic guide, well used to
‘cutting a channel’ to make complicated topics
accessible and relevant. He studied Law at
Kings College London and Theology
at Cambridge. His career in private legal
practice in London and Oxford was broken by
9 years in full-time Christian ministry, teaching
the Bible in collegiate cities and inner-city
London. He is married to Emily with two adult children.
James has visited many of the best-known museums in the world for manuscripts and biblical artefacts, including the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, Ashmolean in Oxford, Oriental Institute in Chicago, Louvre in Paris, National Archaeological Museum in Athens and Israel Museum and Shrine of the Book Museum in Jerusalem.
He has been on two archaeological tours in Israel. He enjoyed the first one so much that he was asked to lead one of the groups on his second tour! He has led tours in the British Museum for over 30 years and trained a number of other guides. In his spare time, James is also a volunteer tour guide at the Bodleian Library, Oxford.
