Christopher Haun here.
I’m an IT Pro by day and a fauxlosopher by night.
Philosophically, I lean towards thomism for metaphysics, epistemology, logic, and ethics.
Religiously, I’m unashamed to be a Bible-focused Christian. You can check out my doctrinal statement here and check out my gospel (good news!) here. If more labels are helpful, consider me a conservative evangelical, non-denominational, baptistic, protestant, dispensational, premillennial, and moderate-calvinist. I lean towards calvinism–but not any extreme, monergistic form. I’m attending Tyndale Bible Church of Fort Worth, Texas, these days and enjoying the teaching there. My favorite Systematic Theology is by Norman Geisler but I also appreciate L.S. Chafer’s Systematic Theology, Grudem’s Systematic Theology, and Erickson’s Christian Theology. As to zionism, a cautious yes and a cautious no. Yes, I believe the Lord will keep all of the promises he made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob-Israel. He will fulfil them in his own timing and in his own way and does not need Israel or the USA to do it for him. I think most Jews of today have basic genetic continuity with the Judeans and Israelis of the Second-Temple period. And, yes, I do believe modern Israel has a right to exist as a nation and has the right to defend itself from its many enemies. But, no, I’m against letting and encouraging Israel be as aggressive as they want to be against their neighbors. And I would oppose assisting and encouraging them to conquer and colonize their promised land (from the Euphrates in Iraq to some river in Egypt).
Professionally, I’m a proletarian in the fourth industrial revolution. My work revolves mainly around Microsoft SharePoint and Office 365 / Microsoft 365 Cloud, Power Platform, Copilot AI, and Microsoft Azure.
Recreationally, I enjoy mountain biking, hiking, bjj, reading, and writing, speaking. My main areas of interest are history, biblical studies, theology, apologetics, science, philosophy, ethics, and the ethics of emerging technologies.
Academically, I am finishing up a master’s degree in theology (with a concentration on classical Christian apologetics and thomistic philosophy) from Veritas International University and am starting to consider a few PhD program options.
Voluntarily, I’m the director and editor-in-chief at Bastion Books, a small, agile, conservative evangelical Christian book publishing company that Norman L. Geisler and I started in 2013.
Politically, I lean towards the libertarian platform, Austrian economics, anarcho-capitalism, and abject minimalism when it comes to government. I could also settle for the libertarian wing of the Republican party if someone like Thomas Massie or Rand Paul or Ron Paul were running for office. I’m very much anti-communist, anti-marxist, anti-socialist, anti-centralism, anti-totalitarianism, anti-authoritarianism, anti-murder, anti-abortion. I oppose genocide and democide. I have conservative values but do not necessarily believe they should be legislated for all. Living in Texas, I tend to be favorable towards the Texas Nationalist Movement (#TEXIT) and secession. I believe in just war theory and, as such, tend to be against most wars.
Feel free to contact me if there is something you think I should learn or reconsider.
