Douglas M. Beaumont

Assistant Professor of Apologetics

Douglas Beaumont is a former skeptic who has spent time on both sides of the religion debate. His conversion to Christianity was due in large part to the well-reasoned responses of believers who were able to answer his questions about their faith.

His current research interests include the Coherency of the Classical Attributes of God, the Doctrine of Analogy in God Talk, the Doctrine of Justification, Moral Virtue Theory, and the Problem of Evil.

Douglas Beaumont is also an ordained minister and is currently enrolled in a Ph.D. program in Theology at North-West University.
