Welcome.

I use this website to share the nuggets of wisdom I encounter in our theological and philosophical heritage.

Who am I?

My name is Sarah Folmer.

I grew up in an environment that was ‘spiritual, but not religious’. As I got older, I began to lean more towards atheism, until I came to faith in Christ in 2017.

I am an undergraduate student in theology at the Theological University of Kampen. I minored in Eastern Orthodox theology at the Free University of Amsterdam, and completed extracurricular courses in phenomenology, analytical philosophy, and philosophical anthropology at the Erasmus University of Rotterdam. I cherish a passion for Church History, especially the domain of Patristics. I am also a Fellow of the ChristenUnie, a Christian Democratic party in the Netherlands.

Who inspires me?

Among the people I admire are:

• Jesus of Nazareth

• Tim Mackie

• John Behr

• Athanasius of Alexandria

• Origen of Alexandria

• Dionysius the Areopagite

• Richard Hays

• Martin Heidegger

• Vladimir Lossky

• Martin Luther

• Irenaeus of Lyons

• Gregory Nazianzen

• Symeon the New Theologian

• Gregory of Nyssa

• Jonathan Pageau

• Jordan B. Peterson

• Awee Prins

• Kallistos Ware

Check them out on YouTube or in print; it’s well worth your time.
