A former Rhodes scholar and professor of New Testament studies at Wycliffe College, Toronto,  Harpur is also an Anglican Priest (Episcopalian).  He resigned from parish work in 1979 to write full-time in   the mass media, in the process extending his "parish" to the whole of Canada. Today, his television shows on Vision/TV, his weekly column (currently on 1 year sabbatical leave) and his books,  notably   For Christ's Sake and  Life After Death, have consolidated his reputation as one of Canada's pre-eminent religious voices and as a sound spiritual guide for modern times.

Harpur's is a rare and a powerful voice.  He writes with the knowledge of a scholar, the flair of a journalist, the concern of a pastor, and the wisdom of someone who has thought deeply about issues with an open, inquiring mind.  He is one of a kind in Canada.
