Garth Hodnett

Garth Daniel Hodnett was born in Johannesburg, South Africa on 24 December 1968. He attended Christian Brothers Collage in Boksburg, a boys-only school. He and his parents went to church. He found Christianity to be vaguely unsatisfactory. After school he moved on to study at the University of the Witwatersrand: psychology, philosophy and world religions, searching for the meaning of life. At this time he was fortunate enough to meet Prof. Ben Engelbrecht, a former student of Van Ruler, who introduced him to Van Ruler’s work. Almost immediately he knew that he had found the truth (or it had found him). He studied Van Ruler’s theology in his Honour’s and Master’s degree at Wits, and continued in his Th.D. at the University of Stellenbosch. He currently resides in Benoni, South Africa, and runs his own software development business
