Exploring the interface between faith and the contemporary world

Welcome. I’m Peter McDowell, a writer and theologian exploring how Christian faith engages with the cultural and economic forces shaping our world.

My work draws on missiology, biblical reflection, and lived experience in Ireland, Nepal and Northern Ireland.

My book, Exile and Empire, examines how Christians can live faithfully within today’s global economic “empire” — neither nostalgic for past privilege nor resigned to decline, but rooted in hope and mission.
