My book: Towards a Theology of Relationship

My book on a theology of relationship has been published (by Wipf&Stock)! I am very happy about it and I hope that it will spark something and lay the foundation for further things. The topic of the book is my heart’s, probably even my life’s theme. Several years ago I had already published a booklet […]

Review: A Model for Evangelical Theology

Conclusion: A solid proposal of an intergative theological method that combines simple faith and academic rigor and is relationally permeated. Graham McFarlane has been teaching theology in the classroom for more than two decades and has supervised a bulk-load of research students. I am one of them (and gladly so). Since he is my doctoral […]

Relational Theology

My Son, Emil Brunner and Subjectivism vs Objectivism

Today we were eating lunch and out of nothing one of my sons asked the following question: “Dad, how can I believe, if I cannot proof that God exists? I want to believe, but I cannot believe when I don’t have proof.” First of all I was a proud father: My son asks really good […]
