Having completed my Masters in Systematic Theology in 2015, I aspire to complete my PhD titled "Faith beyond Theism and Atheism". The post-modern  exodus from religion necessitates investigation, not only into 'externals' i.e. science, technology and its role in the erosion of faith, but also theism and its failure to reveal God as an integral part of life regardless of secularization. Is God, the Divine, disappearing from our secular world or is God just changing face? If the latter, what does God's 'new face' look like and does it still constitute 'faith'? In lieu of the inevitable pressure to change, adapt, the future of theism as we know it is uncertain, and do I hope to gain greater understanding into what role God - faith in God - will play in our rapidly changing post-modern world.
