The Team
Conversations that Matter for the Church
The scholars and guests on Thinking Christian share a commitment to careful exegesis, theological seriousness, and the conviction that scholarship is not the property of the academy. They are here to do the slow work of translation that mature faith requires.
Resident Scholar
The resident scholar role is structurally rare on the platform. Each appointment marks a sustained, multi-year intellectual partnership with Thinking Christian.
