PAUL J. THOMAS, MBA, is a former financial services CEO who first gained recognition as an author with his acclaimed Bite Size Advice series. In it, he offered sharp, accessible commentary on political, economic, social, and technological issues, establishing himself as a thought leader with a gift for unpacking complex ideas for a broad audience.
Following his retirement, Paul expanded his focus beyond current affairs to explore deeper questions of faith and belief. This shift marked the beginning of his Doubting Thomas series. The first book, Doubting Thomas: One Man’s Struggle with Organised Religion and Its Impact on World History, offers a critical examination of the darker side of organised religion and its often overlooked and unsettling impact on society.
His latest book, Doubting Thomas: Investigating the Authenticity of Miraculous Claims, turns to the enduring mystery of miracles – what they are, whether they happen, and how we determine their credibility. With characteristic clarity and balance, Paul navigates historical records, theological perspectives, and scientific inquiry to assess whether belief in miracles can be considered rational.
Though his corporate career has concluded, Paul continues to contribute to public discourse through his writing. With the Doubting Thomas series, he demonstrates both his intellectual versatility and his commitment to exploring meaningful and sometimes controversial topics. His work engages both sceptics and believers, inviting all readers into thoughtful reflection and open dialogue.
