He was born, lived, and studied in several places in France. After a classical philology training, he specialized in ancient Christian literature, writing a thesis on trinitarian theology of Athanasius of Alexandria, and completed his training with a canonical degree in theology. His research brings together the historical perspective and theological concern, mixed with the philology accuracy.
He had the chance to hold several teaching positions in different French universities before discovering Chile and establishing at the San Joaquín Campus.
He believes that speculative reflection is necessary for the development of humanity, beyond technological achievements or practical applications. Theological thinking is a distinct mode of the loving contemplation that God calls a human being.
He expects to convey this form of searching for God to the teaching and research community, following the footsteps of the Fathers of the Church.
