Background and Interests During my years in graduate school I studied both theology and ethics because the concept of narrow disciplinary boundaries separating the two fields never made sense to me. I also developed a strong interest in reflecting on human psychology from a theological point of view. Over the past several years my attention has come into focus on the topic of theological anthropology seen through a Trinitarian lens. My major theme over the years since college has been reflecting on violence psychologically and ethically. Key thinkers I draw on include Soren Kierkegaard, Eric Voegelin, and Rene Girard. Books I Recommend: Rene Girard. I See Satan Fall Like Lightning. David Hart. Atheist Delusions. Mark Heim. Saved from Sacrifice: A Theology of the
Cross. Chantal Delsol. The Unlearned Lessons of
the Twentieth Century. |
