Personal profile
Overview
I am a PhD Candidate in Church History and Theology at the School of Arts, Languages, and Cultures at the University of Manchester and Nazarene Theological College. My research primarily explores the influence of the Radical Holiness Network on the theology of entire sanctification within the early Pentecostal Holiness Church in the Southeastern United States during the Reconstruction Era, Gilded Age, and Progressive Era. Additionally, my work examines the intersections of habitual sin and trauma.
