About
I'm a Research Fellow in Theology and the Arts at the Art as Revelation project, University of St Andrews. I teach on theology (historical, philosophical, and systematic) and philosophy. My current research is on the relationship between art and divine revelation. I also work on Trinitarian theology and Ramified Natural Theology.
​
Along with theological aesthetics, I love thinking about Trinitarian theology, the history of triadic thought in the Western tradition, natural theology, and the nature of art, beauty, and the artist.
​
My great joy is to help others learn about these gems, to write scholarship in these matters to help improve my own thinking, and to speak about these subjects with groups of people.
​
I live with my wife and sons in beautiful St Andrews, Scotland.
