Academic, Student etc.
Throughout my academic career, I’ve seen time and again that deep understanding of any one issue is not found through one approach but through many; whether that be different religions, different philosophical traditions, or different disciplines. This is particularly true when dealing with the questions that really grip us – never-ending problems with no clear answer, or maybe no one answer at all.This has led me to write on philosophy, theology, spirituality, and psychology.
