About Nadia Marais
As well as being a Senior Lecturer in Systematic Theology an ordained minister, Dr Marias is also a Mandela Rhodes Scholar. She is a visiting scholar at Princeton Theological Seminary and a fellow at the Centre of Theological Inquiry in Princeton.
Her research focusses on human flourishing. Her book Homo Florens explores how different contemporary discourses on salvation shape how theologians speak about what human flourishing is. She makes use of three major discourses, each of which lead to subtle but important differences in the rhetoric of flourishing that we (those who are part of the Christian faith tradition) use.
