Early Life
Coles was born in Northampton, England and educated at the independent Wellingborough School (where he was a choirboy) and at the South Warwickshire College of Further Education, Department of Drama and the Liberal Arts. He later attended King's College London where he studied theology from 1990. He was later awarded an MA by research from the University of Leeds for work on the Greek text of St Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians ("not an epistle, not by St Paul and nothing to do with Ephesus".)

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“A two-year-old can be taught to curb his aggressions completely if the parents employ strong enough methods, but the achievement of such control at an early age may be bought at a price which few parents today would be willing to pay. The slow education for control demands much more parental time and patience at the beginning, but the child who learns control in this way will be the child who acquires healthy self-discipline later.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“When they [the American soldiers] came, they found fit comrades for their courage and their devotion.... Joining hands with them, the men of America gave the greatest of all gifts, the gift of life and the gift of spirit.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
