About Me
- Eric
- I'm a happily married father of two and a professor of Old Testament at Briercrest Seminary in Saskatchewan, Canada. I am a Christian - with regard to grace, Augustinian; with regard to faith and the manner of one's union with Christ, Kierkegaardian; with regard to ecclesiology, very interested in Anglicanism; with regard to biblical interpretation, typological; "postmodern" in philosophical accent.
My two wonderful children
My dear family
Mt. Scolty
I grew up hiking in this place . . .
Influences . . .
- Augustine; Calvin; John Owen; Jonathan Edwards; Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Heiddegger; surrealism; myth theory; and of course the Bible, especially the Psalms, Isaiah, and Hebrews
Interests . . .
- Hiking in the mountains, martial arts, creative writing (slipstream/contemporary fantasy), video games, all things Semitic, tickling my kids, watching the Saskatchewan sky, and anything that sparks that heightened sense of heavenly reality (think how you felt the first time you read your first Narnia book) - anything that produces that
Favorite reading
- George MacDonald, Tolkein, and Lewis (Space Trilogy, Till We Have Faces); Gene Wolfe; G. M. Hopkins, Emily Dickinson, T. S. Eliot; Dostoyevski, Flannery O'Connor
Favorite Listening
- J. S. Bach; Mahler (Symphonies 1-6, 9-10); Vaugh Williams; Bruce Cockburn, Sam Phillips, Trent Reznor, Bob Dylan, and especially John Darnielle

I love this. Thank you.
I remember a professor in college, after reading Tennyson to us, saying that poetry expresses the un-expressible. I feel like this piece does as well. One responds instantly, even though one cannot put the response into words.
