My books are somewhat of a hybrid between devotional literature with strong pastoral overtones, and a well-versed theological commentary with scholarly ambitions. However, due to the hybrid nature of the books, they are sitting too uncomfortably in this in-between space to be weighed fairly by Biblical scholarship. To put it simply, my writings are quite confident and assertive in their theological and eschatological positions, and don’t engage with enough peer reviewed research to prove any meaningful contribution to the field.
As such, these ten articles are my attempt to bridge that gap, which I began by educating myself in the basics of how Bible scholars construct their theses and articulate their arguments. Then, after choosing my most distinctive interpretive positions, I had them directly engage with relevant scholarship to give precedents to my perspectives — including pitting these perspectives against their strongest critics and associated counterarguments — for the purpose of proving that these revelations merit having a voice in the discussion.
In doing so, this has been an incredible learning and growing experience for me, pushing me and my ideas far outside of our comfort zone. Despite the challenge, this journey resulted in cultivating an even greater confidence in the value and efficacy of the unique revelations and insights found in my books. Likewise, I have grown rather fond of these scholarly articles, and viewed together — as a well-articulated corpus born directly from my writings — I consider this to be a kind of love letter to my books (so-to-speak).
Nevertheless, while these persuasive arguments and theological perspectives are fundamentally my own — which are all greatly expounded on in the books featured on this website — I must be honest and transparent about the tools I used to assist in this endeavor: the creation of the website itself, along with the accompanying ten articles, have all been assisted with AI (Perplexity).
