About me
I am a Church of England pastor in Kent, married, with two sons.
Currently, I am registered part time for a research degree at King’s College London for a thesis with the provisional title: “Individuality, relationality and time: a trinitarian comparison of the relational 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?

Please do
I’m interested to know with whom you are studying at King’s College. I am becoming interested in Reformational thought, so much so that I’m considering attempting a doctoral degree on the subject. So, if you wouldn’t mind, please let me know which faculty at King’s is able to accommodate your studies.
Grace & peace,
A.T.
Dear Andrew,
I am enrolled at the Department of Theology and Religious Studies, and my supervisor is Dr Paul Janz. Paul is helpful not through his knowledge of Reformational Philosophy (although he is on a crash course in this through supervising me!) but through his acute philosophical mind. I would strongly recommend him as a supervisor.
The wider context of doing research in the Department is the Research Institute for Systematic Theology (bizarrely made referred to in Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code – for which I hasten to say I did not spend good money, but bought it at a village fete). This meets fortnightly.
King’s is a good place to meet and there are a lot of interesting people. There is also a small Reformational group starting to meet, not at King’s per se, but in London, convened by Rudi Hayward.
Blessings,
Jeremy
