Welcome
Welcome to the South East England School of Christian Studies. This is an embryonic organisation inspired by the call by the great Dutch Christian leader Abraham Kuyper, and his vision of the Lordship of Christ over all of life.
Two introductory courses are in the planning stage:‘An Introduction to a Christian Worldview’ and‘Elements of a Christian Philosophy’. In due course, these can also be made available as distance learning modules.Depending on demand, it is also planned to provide workshops for those in specific areas of work to help Christians to reflect on a distinctive Christian approach to their discipline, profession or practice.
This project is at an experimental stage to gauge interest and to stimulate further development. To find out more, please visit Welcome.

About me
I am a Church of England pastor in Kent, married, with two sons.
In 2012 I was awarded a PhD by King’s College London for a thesis giving a trinitarian comparison of the reformational philosophies of Herman Dooyeweerd and Dirk Vollenhoven.
My previous PhD was in 17th Century English History (Commonwealth period) at Cambridge University.
I have been engaged in peacebuilding programmes in South Africa (1986-1991), Rwanda (1994-1999) and Sudan (1999-2002). The organisation is now Concordis International
I have also contributed to the book, Jubilee Manifesto, of the Jubilee Centre , Cambridge.
Previously I also did a thesis on the Trinitarian theology of Robert W. Jenson at King’s College London under the late Professor Colin Gunton; and also contributed a chapter on Jenson’s theology of history to the Jenson Festschrift: Trinity, Time and Church.
My driving passion is the integration of Trinitarian and Reformational thought, not just an academic concern but something which drives everthing I do: it is about the call of the Father in the Son through the power of the Holy Spirit in our creation, redemption and bringing to glory. A good introduction to my thinking is the paper What on Earth is the Trinity?

Thanks, Steve
Hello Jeremy,
I’ve now read the first two chapters of your “Outline of a Christian Philosophy” (an old version thereof). I find it very helpful and suggestive in the way you outline grand themes and trends in Western thought and relate them to each other. If a course at SEESOCS – or indeed a written introduction at a popular level – could help me grasp this more fully, I’d be keen to benefit from it. Here at WYSOCS I’ve just witnessed two attempts at popular-level introductions to the Reformational framework: one in Mark Roques’ “Ways Of Knowing course” and the other when Mark, Andrew Basden and David Hanson spoke to Christian postgrads’ leaders at a Faith-in-Scholarship conference last weekend. There’s a great challenge in making these inspiring insights more accessible!
