I am currently working on three major projects. The first is the book publication of the collaborative and cumulative research project of the Westar Institute’s academic seminar on “God and the Human Future.” The second is a collection of philosophical and theological reflections on the crisis of faith and the role of sacrifice in contemporary literature and film. The third is a continuation of my work on the New Materialism as it connects with energy, the environment and the economy.
