Hi, Thanks for visiting my author's page. I hold a Doctor of Religious Education degree from Destiny University, a Master's Degree in Constitutional History, and an undergraduate degree in Philosophy. My book "Socrates, Jesus and Freedom," was recently published on Amazon, and is a philosophical reflection on the teaching of both Socrates and Jesus. Socrates and Jesus taught that the highest purpose of the human being was to care for one's soul and to be a lover of wisdom. Their spiritual influence remains as powerful today as it was in the past as Ancient Greek philosophical thought and Judeo-Christian religion are studied and understood within a complex territory of new ideas. On a personal note, I have travelled world-wide, and was especially fulfilled when I first stepped onto the Acropolis in Athens, and walked the paths of Jesus in Jerusalem. On a daily basis you will find me reading and writing about philosophy and religion. I am currently working on my second book that examines democracy during the time of Socrates (the Classical Period of Greece 500-336 B.C.), and compares this ancient democracy to our modern democracy.
