I holds degrees in philosophy and theology, and a major theme of his research is the understanding of divine providence in relation to research done in science, philosophy, and theology.

Philosophical, Psychological and Theological Approaches (Routledge 2020, co-edited with Simon Kopf), Indeterminismo en la Naturaleza y Mecánica Cuántica: Werner Heisenberg y Tomás de Aquino (Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2011), as well as articles in philosophy of religion, science and religion, natural philosophy, and medieval philosophy, published, for instance, in The Journal of Religion, New Blackfriars, Zygon: Journal of Religion and Science, The Heythrop Journal and European Journal for Philosophy of Religion.
