” Indeed secular education is barren, always in labour, but never giving birth.”

– Gregory of Nyssa, Life of Moses 2.11

Doctrine & life
Practical

Life and doctrine. Practical insights on Christian teaching and living.

Why are these articles available?

Generally theological research today is undertaken as a subdiscipline of the humanities, from materialistic prepositions. In other words, scholars believe that religion is just something that we humans invent. In this environment it is important to:

  • Go to the sources
  • Dig for truth
  • Distinguish between fact and opinion

Your support

My professorial chair is truly independent. This allows me to speak freely. The outcomes of my research are not pre-determined by political considerations, but guided by traditional Christianity and liber enquiry. Although my chair comes with all the usual academic rights, it is not salaried by the university, and therefore dependent on research publications and your support.
