He was a sixth form college teacher in Worcester, UK, for eleven years, before starting work in publishing in 2001 for Paternoster Press and, since 2010, for Wipf & Stock Publishers.
Interviews
editAfter Parry's book Worshipping Trinity was published, Grace Communion International had an extensive interview with him on "the importance of having a trinitarian perspective in our worship".[2]
Due to the controversial nature of his book "The Evangelical Universalist," Parry has appeared twice as a guest on Premier Christian Radio.[3] He was also interviewed in "Hellbound?", the movie documentary, and in numerous online podcasts and blogs.
