Research interests
My current research interests lie in two areas: the neo-Calvinst theological tradition (and in particular, its leading theologian Herman Bavinck); and the relationship of theology to language difference. My most recent monograph was the first English scholarly biography of Herman Bavinck. I continue to be research active in that field, alongside my work in theology and language. I am currently writing a monograph on the history of Christian theological interactions with language diversity. From 2024-26, I am also engaged in a collaboration with the neuroscientist Dr Thomas Bak on the relationship of theological ethics to bilingualism (funded by the John Templeton Foundation).
Selected publications (since 2023)
In 2023, I was responsible for three more books: the first English translation of J.H. Bavinck's Personality and Worldview (Crossway), the co-translation of Herman Bavinck's Christianity and Science (Crossway), and the volume Neo-Calvinism and Roman Catholicism (Brill), co-edited with George Harinck.
