Starting out with a thesis on William Blake and the Gnostics, his main concern has been bridging academic and spiritual perspectives. He has been engaged particularly with Rudolf Steiner’s philosophy and esotericism, through which he has striven to illumine the Christian imagination in poetry and art, highlighting the Romantic writers. In his books The Beginnings of Christianity and From a Virgin Womb he has studied archaic traditions concerning the ‘transfiguration of the world’ in their relevance to Christian origins and a vision of future reality. In his most recent work he is extending the bounds of his researches into evolution and prehistory. He has been a British Academy Fellow and Frances Yates Fellow in the universities of London and Oxford.view less
