Francesca Stavrakopoulou (born 1975 in Bromley, London with an English mother and a Greek father) is Professor of Hebrew Bible and Ancient Religion in the University of Exeter's Department of Theology and Religion. The main focus of her research is Israelite and Judahite history and religion. She is noted for her academic and media roles: presenting a three-part television series on the BBC ''The Bible's Buried Secrets'' (2011; not to be confused with the 2008 NOVA programme of the same name), and for contributions to Channel 4's series ''The Bible: A History''. She describes herself as "an atheist with huge respect for religion" and regards her work as "a branch of history like any other". She has often been quoted as believing many of the Bible's major characters are merely fabrications created by ancient writers who "had a different understanding of what was fact or fiction."〔(BBC Special with Richard Dawkins )〕〔(Francesca Stavrakopoulou ), Department of Theology and Religion, University of Exeter.
