Author: James Bishop

Hi there. My name is James Bishop. I am from South Africa. I graduated in Creative Brand Communication, Marketing, and Multi-media Design (CBC), and later in Theology (majoring in Psychology) (BTh). I was pleased to have obtained my BTh cum laude and am now doing a PhD in the Study of Religions at the University of Cape Town. My interests are broad, although I am currently looking at unconventional groups, new religious movements, fantasy-fiction religions, and secularization theory.
