In these blogs, I endeavor to articulate the essential purpose of establishing a coherent worldview capable of addressing four fundamental questions of life: origin, meaning, morality, and destiny.
Such a worldview must provide a robust apologetic that withstands the most rigorous critiques from philosophy, theology, astrophysical science, and other academic disciplines. Regardless of whether one's worldview is rooted in Judeo-Christian, Islamic, or pantheistic traditions, the claims made in response to these questions must correspond to objective reality and exhibit logical coherence.


Welcome to Point of Reference
Single-discipline theology is intellectually untenable; the renewal of Christian thought requires an integrated framework drawing from patristic synthesis, astrophysical discovery, philosophical clarity, and apologetic vigor.
