Biography

Research summary

My interest is primarily in neo-Calvinism, that branch of theology that identifies itself as rooted in the theological projects of Abraham Kuyper and Herman Bavinck, and how it has developed since its inception. My PhD thesis focuses on the theological epistemology of Herman Bavinck. More broadly, I am interested in constructive theological prolegomena, 19th-20th-century continental philosophy and phenomenology, the relationship between contemporary continental and analytic philosophy, and the relationship between neo-Calvinism and 17th-century Reformed orthodoxy.  Essays:
