Biography:
I am currently training for ordained ministry in the Church of England at Ridley Hall. I have a BA in Theology from Oxford University and an MA in Systematic Theology from King’s College in London, where I took the optional module on ‘Christianity and the arts’. My research supervisor is Professor Jeremy Begbie.
Subject area and speciality
- Christian Theology specialists:
-
‘Musico-Pneumatology for Christian Formation: Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Polyphony of Life in the Spirit’ (PhD Title)
In this Christian Theology PhD I examine how Dietrich Bonhoeffer uses ‘polyphony’ and related musical casts of mind to conceptualise Christian formation. In particular, I explore how these metaphors articulate a pneumatology which supports and strengthens Bonhoeffer’s Christology as it is applied to Christian formation.
