About

Welcome to my web page.  I am a professor of philosophy, religious studies, and theology.  I am also a pastor at Historic Christian Church of Phoenix.  And I am a certified jiu-jitsu instructor.  

 

As a Christian, I believe that God is real, humans have sinned against God, and that God has revealed to us in the Bible how to be redeemed through Christ. My research looks at how there is a clear general revelation of God and His moral law.  This means that all people can and should know God and glorify Him.  We know God as He has revealed Himself to us in His works of creation and providence.

 

Out of my books, one of my favorites is my philosophical commentary on the Book of Job.  Job wrestles, in a very painful and personal way, with the problem of meaning in a world of great suffering.  After a dialogue with his friends that ends in frustration with each other, God addresses Job.  God asks Job to consider His works of creation.  In the end, Job repents.  Why does he repent?  Check out my book.  I think you will like it.

 

Recently, I have been working on the problem of DEIB, antiracism, decolonizing the curriculum, secular universities, and the loss of academic freedom.  The philosophy behind these movements is presented in our universities as “the fact of the matter.”  Why is that?  And are we still allowed to think critically and discuss alternative ways of understanding the world and our history?  Rousseau, Marx, and Freud dominate the mind of the current secular university professor. We can do much better.  On my Substack, I point out the many logical fallacies of such thinkers.
