He is also a Research Associate at the University of Pretoria. He is author or editor of 4 books, and over 25 articles appearing in such places as Philosophia, Ratio, and Synthese.
“Global philosophy of religion that takes into account the insights of traditions to which little attention has been devoted is on the rise. This book makes a valuable contribution to both the growth of this field of research as well as to the already well-established body of research on the axiology of theism. Anyone interested in the renewal of philosophy of religion should read it.” – Andrei A. Buckareff, Marist College, USA
