Who am I?

I am a philosophy graduate who has studied at Stirling University, Queen's University, Kingston and Oxford University. I am now retired and am currently researching the philosophical history of the idea of God, with a view to writing a book.

What am I doing?

I am currently interested in the period from 600 BC (Pre-Socratic) to St. Augustine (4th century AD), particularly the drift from Greek philosophy into Christianity. The interplay between these outlooks is very interesting, as evidenced by the life of someone like Augustine of Hippo as he moves from Manichaeism through Neoplatonism towards Christianity.
