BOOKS
My first book to date is Reason Fulfilled by Revelation: The 1930s Christian Philosophy Debates in FranceThis volume provides translations of key documents from the debates, texts which were previously available only in French. Its purpose is to open up the field to Anglophone scholarship. The book includes a chronological bibliography and my 96 page thematic and historical introductions providing context for the translations.
