Thesis Research
Patrick’s doctoral research, supervised by Professor Judith Wolfe, concerns the place of theological aesthetics within theological anthropology. He is particularly interested in the under-examined role of the imagination in framing the human relation to Christ, the Trinity, and the eschaton. His hope is to pursue a sustained dialogue with the work of Rowan Williams and various modern articulations of the self in philosophy and the arts.
