Research Projects
Jack’s doctoral research was focussed on how the theology of Karl Barth might be able to critically and distinctively engage with Generation Z. Undertaken under the supervision of Professor Tom Greggs at the University of Aberdeen, Jack’s work offers a reading of Karl Barth that seeks to highlight how the likes of Barth’s theological method, the implications of the election of Christ and the mystery of God might be a fruitful contribution within the postmodern landscape of Generation Z. He is now beginning research into theological anthropology with a focus on disability theology.
