    Research interests

    My research interests concern the relation between theology and philosophy. In particular, I have explored the dynamics between the ordinary and the extraordinary. I have explored how this dynamics is operative in a range og phenomena, such as the holy, aesthetic experience, wonder, mysticism and worship. I have also written on the problem of evil. In that respect, the role of physical pain bhas proved central, and along with it the general questions on incarnation, passivity, death and resurrection. Methodologically, phenomenology and ordinary language philosophy have had a great influence in my research.
