Author of Flat Earths and Fake Footnotes: The Strange Tale of How the Conflict of Science and Christianity Was Written Into History (Cascade, 2021). B.A. Bible/Theology, B.A. Koine Greek, M.Div.T.S. (Systematic Theology), Th.M. (Historical Theology), M.Phil. (History of Philosophy), Ph.D. (Historiography) |
| Interests | Theology, Philosophy, History, Language, Art, and Science. Others provide certainty, I am a broker of wonder through confusion. |
| Favorite movies | Lord of the Rings trilogy; Memento; Hero; I grew up in a cinephile family so the list is very long and there are very few movies I don't appreciate at least at some level. |
| Favorite music | Modest Mouse, Decemberists, Bon Iver; anything Drum and Bass to get me going in the morning; any and all metal or heavy rap for workouts; lo-fi jazzhop, ambient EDM, movie soundtracks for research and writing |
| Favorite books | I read so much it feels like it has been awhile since something really struck me. I have been on a sci-fi kick the last few years: House of Suns, Rendezvous with Rama, Three Body Problem trilogy, Foundation series, anything in the world of Lovecraft. All the Light We Cannot See was probably the most beautiful book I've read in the last few years, while my favorite series is probably the Stormlight Archives. |
