Alanzo Paul
About
“To love God is something greater than to know him.” – St. Thomas Aquinas
Alanzo is a speaker and tutor with the OCCA The Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics and the Director of Reboot (OCCA’s youth apologetics initiative). He is passionate about literature, philosophy and theology. His work primarily focuses on questions such as, ‘Why does God allow suffering and injustice?’ and ‘What is the meaning of life?’. Additionally, he enjoys exploring topics such as the Occult, identity, Gen Z, difficult passages in the Old Testament, and the case for the historical Jesus.
Born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Alanzo became a Christian in 2009 after grappling with drug addiction for over ten years. Since then, he has dedicated his life to Christ by engaging the questions of others and speaking to audiences worldwide.
Alanzo has a degree in theology (BTh.) from the University of Oxford (Wycliffe Hall) and a Master of Arts in Theological Studies (MA) from the University of Toronto, from which he earned the Margaret Muckle Trust prize for his work. He is undertaking a doctoral programme (DPhil) in philosophical theology at the University of Oxford.
Alanzo lives near Oxford with his wife, Khadija.
