KEVIN SIMINGTON
I am a Christian educator with a Bachelor of Theology from Sydney College of Divinity and a Diploma of Ministry from Churches of Christ Theological College, NSW. I served as a Churches of Christ minister for 10 years, a chaplain for 6 years, and a Biblical Studies teacher in a Christian high school for 15 years. In more recent years, I have devoted myself to writing, conference speaking and ministry consultancy.
# WRITING: I have published over 25 books, mainly theology and apologetics, but also some science fiction and detective novels. I am a senior writer for the online magazine, My Christian Daily, and I publish a regular blog on this website (which you can sign up to receive via email in the right-hand column of this website). I also maintain an active presence in several online forums, debating and engaging with atheists and sceptics, defending the existence of God and the truth of the Gospel.
# CONFERENCE SPEAKING: In recent years I have travelled throughout every state of Australia, speaking at clergy retreats and denominational conferences, as well as conducting church camps and seminars in the areas of biblical theology, leadership, practical ministry and apologetics.
# MINISTRY CONSULTANCY: I also currently serve as the Ministry Consultant for the Bathurst Diocese of the Anglican Church of Australia. To allow me to function effectively in this role, the Anglican Church ordained me as an Anglican minister. My role entails mentoring new ministers, providing guidance for churches in the area of evangelism and church growth, producing video sermons for churches without clergy, participating in various Diocesan strategic planning committees, working alongside the Bishop in developing a Diocesan Strategic Plan, conducting occasional outreach rallies within the Diocese, and engaging in short-term locum ministries in churches without clergy. I will be retiring from this consultancy role in September 2026.
PHILOSOPHY
The purpose of this website is to provide information and resources to assist in the development of an intellectually robust, informed faith. Church services, due to their various constraints and limitations, do not lend themselves to a comprehensive discussion of anything beyond rudimentary topics. Yet I am increasingly aware of a hunger among many Christians for more than just the basics. The books, videos, podcasts, articles and other resources on this website seek to promote a more informed understanding regarding many of the more complex issues of apologetics, theology, ethics and philosophy.
Some of the topics covered on this website incorporate a significant amount of scientific data. Science and faith are by no means contradictory. In fact, science is simply mankind’s study of God’s creation. The study of science and philosophy has been a great passion of mine for decades, and I am convinced that a true understanding of the physical and philosophical sciences supports, rather than contradicts, the teachings of the Christian faith.
BELIEFS
I am a born again Christian. I believe that the Bible is God’s inspired Word, authoritative in all matters of faith, and I affirm my faith in Jesus as the eternal Son of God, who died for our sins, rose from the dead to give us new life and will return to judge the world and usher in his eternal Kingdom. It is only through his grace and forgiveness that we are made right with God and can find a place in his eternal Kingdom.
