I. Research

My dissertation-related research is mainly about the relation between classical theism and modern logic. Apart from this, I am interested in questions relating to interreligious dialogue, Reformed epistemology, philosophical logic, the realism/antirealism debate, Wittgensteinian philosophy of religion, meta-ontology, and much more besides.
